Bright light not at night.
Fly in the sky as the rainbow grows earlier into colorful that turns into shapes in the atmosphere.

Premium Member They shoot poems don't they

string them up
take aim
bang! bang! bang!
'dem holes excuse 'em
they ain't 'considered'
as copies when they
can't neigh.

Shoot 'Em Down

Reality will hit you like a brick I'm told
Some get coal other strike gold
Some got scars on their hands
Some float free, until we shoot 'em down

Oh Shoot--- a Doggone Cookie

OH SHOOT!!!  .A DOGGONE COOKIE    
 
He wanted from her some sweet nookie.
Instead all he got was a cookie.
He suffered his fate.
When he went to date.
Because the poor girl then played hookie!!!!

Oh shoot

Oh shoot
I did again
I forgot to pray for God
Because I am already tired
I want to sleep now
Oh shoot
I will pray for my God
First thing in the morning
I won't forget
Oh shoot
The night is over
The new day is here again
Time to pray for my God

CRAP SHOOT

          Take your chance, random.
          No worry: sure, to click once.
          ‘But,’ If’ or ‘Perhaps’
          events roll, life progresses.
          Probability makes way.

Premium Member Shoot Straight Huitain

Honesty is an argument,
filters are roses and sunshine;
The truth is no longer present 
high on hot air as we decline;
Egg shell phrases but we aren't fine,
weighed down by the weight of phony;
Words and thoughts no longer align;
Can anyone shoot straight with me?

Just Shoot Me

Just Shoot me

in 1996 I had the injury
that changed my life

went jogging 
fell off a ledge
broke my heel

screamed out in pain
just shoot me

then someone hit me
with a frying pan
ended up 
in the hospital 

pensively 101 three word challenge, shoot, pain pan

To Shoot a Friend

Self righteous piety reeks like a blanket of wet dog hair,
odoriferous and foul.
Betrayal.
My friend.
Sagging spirit like a pillowcase of drowned kittens.
For what profit to you?
At what cost to me?

We walk this same earth.
Pray your moccasins do not cross the balance point of the universe.

Aim Shoot and Succeed

Finding courage is not easy  
in a world of fight or flight 
we often hide our sorrow 
behind sombres of the  night
People often wear a smile
 to cammouflage their pain
hoping for the sunshine 
and getting lots of rain  
Be a brave warrior 
mend your fences like a man  
live yoru life like an arrow 
in archeries of ,  yes I can.

Shoot That Groundhog

Shoot that shoot that groundhog
The snow remains on the ground.
Cold air is rocking the north.
Buffalo is digging out of the snow.
People are buying all the milk and bread.
Roads are close. Schools are out.
The groundhog said 6weeks of snow.
People are panking, and shouting shoot that groundhog!
For it's july 4th and it's snowing in buffalo.

Premium Member Shoot Me

Mother said:  “always smile”

I smiled 

I am still smiling among others of my kind
In clusters of wrinkled cheeks and memory-laden souls
Beating too too many taut drums in a row. 

“When I’m that way” my father used to say,
“shoot me.  Doesn’t matter who has to clean up.”
My way is a nap turning into eternal rest.

December 5, 2013

we didn’t shoot my father.

Premium Member Wild Shoot

The beautiful running rose 
Your beauty is fully exposed
Full of buds and tiny blooms
All the birds are singing in tune

The waterfountain from above
Has fully restored you with love
Even the wild shoot has been tamed
The living water called your name

Tiny pale pink cascading blooms
Draw all birds and bees to zoom
Drawing on your nectar still
They have been gloriously filled

Premium Member Don't Shoot the Messenger

Pardon me I have a message

You may think that it's a joke

But the bank has sent this letter

To inform you that you're broke

I can tell by your expression

None of this is very funny

But your wife and her lawyer

Just ran off with all your money 

I know this comes as quite a shock

But Mister Man I'm begging you

Please don't shoot the messenger

I've got another job to do

Shoot For the Moon

Shoot for the moon and even if you miss, you'll land among the stars Show me a glint of light from the moon and I will show you hope Her beauty and her elegance is never marred Show me a glimpse of her glow and I will show you love Her titan strength is in her luminous glare Show me the stars and I will understand the moon if I shoot for the moon and land on the stars, that's ok.

They Shoot Horses Too

They Kill Horses too 

Spring 1945
a horse collapsed 
in the street
of starvation
from every door, men in black
with long knives
cut into the beast
before it was dead
meat any flesh 
would do
soldiers came
shot in the air
the black-clad men 
scurried back 
A shot in the head of 
the still alive animal
The soldiers left
their officer loved horses
During the night 
the civilians came back
at dawn
blood and gore
on thawing snow

The Shoot

Wandering down, the field flattens
Towards the darkened river.
The chestnut moves like a sail
Stands aloof in it setting.
Yellow canker caress the meadow,
Bees lunge into waiting flowers.
Smells of distant cows.

The dogs running around,
Guns on shoulders sounding
Across banks of soft fruit.
Dreams drifting like clouds,
Bounding countries that don’t exist
Lost in this mist, heading home
Peacefully until the stillness ceases

Real Men Shoot Hot Pink Guns and Like It

Hot lead is cool no matter what gun fires the load
Sig sauer makes an accurate twenty two pistol
If you have had a jam problem keep them in mind
The light polimer frame in hot pink or purple etc.
Makes the gun a blast of excitement on the range
All the guys were drooling and smiling like a champ
Hitting the bulls eye is the target of the sport....
Super handling....super accurate!!
They call it the mosquito!

reads like an add don't it?! lol

Premium Member the immigration bill 3-2-1 shoot down

Gun funds fought latin commies
And launched immigrant tsunamis
Trump's wall at the border
Now reads out of order
And can't stop the kids and their mommies

Don't forget gang deportation
That affected some latin nation
What we sent down there
Gave many a scare
Being bullied is no vacation

Republicans caught in a lie
We do know why they won't vote aye
They'd the polls ruffle
With border kerfuffle
Designed to make Biden the bad guy

Jump-Shoot

Powerful tyrannic regimes, lovely sky, thunder
Eating doritos, ignoring culture
I'iz fat, I'iz lazy
Yet I previal, for power, wealth and fame.
I grow like a sunflower, flying through a Maserati.
Parked $20,000 luxury, beat'nic
$150k salary, a traditional rampage
What'O I say, it is funny, I can envision but breath like a pro.
Jump-shoot, aye, to my basket for basketball
I am evident to live with ...
Jump start skid, it is a lactose and tolarant premis

Premium Member Viva Ukraine

Viva Ukraine.

You can shoot them
You can bomb them
You can send missiles
You can send tanks
You can send soldiers
You can break houses
You can blow up flats
You can demolish airports
You can send your fire
You can’t break their spirit
You can’t shoot their souls
You will never conquer
You will always look behind
You will look in shadows
You will walk on nerves
You will go home in bags
You will get just desserts!
Viva Ukraine!
