Behind a broad fence
A grassy knoll in Dallas
Lone sniper waited
Changed the course of history
Possibly went scot-free, too.

Premium Member Tucked Into His Heart

Across uneven terrain
  tightrope-walking
narrow mountain passes
  dodging sniper fire

He carries her picture
  tucked into his heart
From that wrinkled photo
  his thoughts ne'er depart

Trump Soon Became a Sniper

Trump Soon Became A Sniper

Trump searched and soon became sniper;
He was hard at it and then became hyper;
Wore frown;
Let people down,
And became world's worst at being a typer.

Premium Member History As a Gunfighter

In spite of a long history as a gunfighter From my early days as a wild west sniper Turned out pretty good Wouldn't change if I could Turned out to be a smashing good limerick writer

Love's Fools 2k11

Love likened strikes as quick as a viper; Therewith love's pulse billions grow more so fools. Love - accurate as a military sniper. There's fools of unthawed hearts; Than there's love's fools.

NOSE WOES - limerick

My nose told me it couldn’t get riper
as I opened and peeked in the diaper
one last gasping breath
succumbing to death
single shot from intestinal sniper

Sniper

Mortally wounded, 
a soldier writhes
in pain,

     crawls bloody 
     on the bloodied 
     earth.

From up a cliff 
a sniper takes 
aim again

     to finish off a task 
     with neither rage 
     nor mirth.

I Am Not An Ivorian

In Ivory Coast
You don’t walk 
Outside unarmed
Without your hands up
May be 
You will not be shot that way
By a sniper
But snipers have their own way of thinking
About your life
Not everyone has a right
To a long happy life

Death Is a Whiteman

Death is a whiteman!
A whiteman without a face,
blends well with the sun.
A deadly sniper in the day
strikes from a distance.

Death is a blackman!
A blackman without a shadow,
sneaks up on unsuspecting victims.
He resides in the dark night
and vanishes with the rising sun.

Premium Member In the Cross Hairs

Listen to poem:
I stand lined up in the sights 
between black lines, 
going from left to right
going up and down, 
lines drawn as crossroads,
at the intersection point 
between chance and choice
sighted and aligned
in the cross hairs,
targeted by 
the sniper 
with squinted eyes
called
'Fate'

Premium Member Sniper

A sniper
is a secretly angelic person
who mysteriously causes miracles
when that person has their scope
on a crestfallen soul and when the sad
soul is about to give up, the saint
will take their shot, rejuvenating the pained soul
back to blissful life
without knowing what exactly happened

Sniper

Picked  off, one by one,
mothers, sons, uncles, 

Aunts, some when fell, ****
their pants/the muscles

See, they start to dance.

Proud?
It was a war/kill them or 
they’d kill 

First; hand grenade or AK
Aimed at me

And now I wonder if some 
mother’s son

Saw me today, what he’d 
Say?

In an AK-47 way

Some Polticians

Men who hulking thugs lobby, 
Now and then their hobby
To winning rivals clobber, 
Hitting them until they slobber; 
Their tunes for the piper
A much worse viper,
Venom as good a wiper
As enemy- silencing sniper.

Old owners of power 
Mythical the eleventh hour
Their only message for The Youth:
A not- yet- your- time hurting truth.

Song Contest

The song contest.
There has been a song contest in Europe
Russian singers and musicians were banned
Which makes the contesting political?
Needless to say, Ukraine won. 
One notice Israel appeared but not
Palestine, who was mourning a dead reporter
Killed by an Israeli sniper, but we will not hold
 this against the musicians and singers

Sniper

when I was a soldier,I killed a hundred men,
(women and children, I think maybe ten),
then one hot day as I lay in the sand,
a bullet caught me in the hand

so they discharged me with honour
and now I MAKE guns, which kill women 
and children their brothers and sons

and instead of a hand, I now have a claw,
and it takes all my time to open a door
war

Words Play

Blending with the light,
as ancients did? 
on the leafy path.

You turn your gun?
on an old skull,
with broken teeth,

to rewrite the murder, 
without qualms. A sniper 
would take an aim.

Untouchable, the years 
roll by, sending echos 
in the valley of tears.

A final stroke. 
The blood stops in the veins 
while the angel sleeps.

Secretly

A sniper was around.
I did not want to rush 
and kiss the jessamine.

Last night, it was a 
retributory offer
to put off the candle.

I am here to stay 
for prudence, speaking 
the dialect of the nameless.

I survive the fetishes 
of light. O unknown, I 
live in darkness.

Moon was my solemn-
pledge. I had always stayed 
in the house of truth.

Urban Warfare

Urban Warfare




Knock Knock, tick tocks the clock,
post traumatic syndrome head trauma shock.
Glock Glock, click pop weapon stock,
three dimensional residential sniper kill shot on lock.

Hippity Hop, bee bop the music stops,
scattered brats panic attack, raiding cops.
Ding Dong, ping pong ball bounce bops,
sad sadistic, unrealistic, urban firearm goes pop, pop, pop!

Premium Member We Are Accidents

Today, I was missed by a bullet
fired by a sniper in Syria,  
a runaway train 10,000 miles from it, 
and every swing of the 
Grim Reaper’s scythe in between. 
A repeat of so many days 
of good coincidences.

Life is but an accident of time and geography,
we the beneficiaries of a random amnesty.

Tomorrow, I shall rise 
and raise song unto the vaulting blue 
for my privilege of sun.

Ants

Mortally wounded, a soldier writhes in pain, 
crawls bloody on the burnt, 
bloodied earth.


From up a crag, a sniper takes aim again
to finish off a task 
bereft of mirth.


On the ground, ants lug hefty loads around lumps
of seared soil, singed sand and 
torched boulder splinters


to build again and again their anthill crushed
by blood-stained boots of the 
slain and the slayers!
