Slingshot Colorful streak Sprayed right upon A natural dull stone Splayed upon a dark blue rock With orange

Premium Member Not So Funny This Time

Sammy wanted his uncle's attention
Uncle Pete adored him.
Took out his slingshot, thinking this would be hilarious
But this time it was not; he met a different Uncle Pete.

Premium Member I Feel All Four Seasons

I'll wait for you
to bring back 
Spring
green skies
blue trees
if you ever look my way again
I am enraged
and restless
you watched them
slingshot me
into Fall
I fell for you
falling into the very heart of Winter
time
I feel such pain
rage
loneliness 
unable to write
last Summer

“ragazzino salta” 

face to the wall
reading poetry 
slingshot spitballs

little jack horner
sat in his quiet corner
once upon a time

ragazzino salta
your sorry muse, old ‘been,
your lawless circus,

never mine.


Candide Diderot. ‘25

Premium Member Remorse

Boy with his slingshot aims at sparrow sitting on mulberry tree. Bird falls vertically on ground, dead. He had never killed before. Suddenly, remorse strikes him.  He burries the bird, vows never to be cruel to a living being again.

Playfulness takes life
innocence suddenly lost~
guilt saves lives later

Premium Member David and Goliath

Titan Goliath challenged young David to a floggin'

     But David with his slingshot beaned him on the noggin!

          Dave viewed the carcass and was heard to say, "Nothin' to it!"

                His envious brethren said, "Yeah!  'Twas just a lucky hit!"

Duck In My Quack

There's a moose a loose with a duck on his back!
If you see them stop dead in your tracks.
Do not engage, for they will fight back.
The moose made a slingshot out of his rack.
If you are naive and turn your back;
Moose will sling duck hard and fast.
Popping your butt with a very loud crack.
Leaving you with a duck stuck in your quack.

Premium Member Dreamgirl

shocking the rhapsody of her soul, the multi-faceted jewels — layer upon layer. the hyper-hues of depth and kaleidoscopic threat. would she absorb or attack those who dare to penetrate her contorted web. where does one begin. should she step gently or slingshot her way into this trippy ethereality. the dreamgirl satisfies with innuendos — questions do not breathe. she merely undulates in the sinews of the matrix.

Premium Member Ah the Season

The turkey’s held up signs
Protesting the Parade
“We were here before the Pilgrims”

They sought back-up from the Pumpkins
“Where were you on Halloween”, they asked

A Deer in a red vest strutted across the meadow

An old Owl shook its head from front to back

It gets worse every year mumbled the hunter
As he loaded his slingshot

An escaped lab monkey
Built a fire in the distance

As a feral cat
Longed for home

Simple Things

If you face a raging sea
without a way to flee;
God can make a way of escape
in any form, size, or shape.

Five stones and a slingshot
is all it took.
Goliath fell down like a book
as they all took a look.

God sent Elijah, the prophet,
to a little brook;
he was fed from the ravens
as God undertook.

He used a little boy's lunch
for others to munch.
It was a simple fare
but there was plenty to spare.

God can make a way.
If your heart does not stray.
