When she heard the sound of gunplay

Rain came
Hearts scared 
People fled
A car sped 
Water splashed
Round the corner 
An umbrella sprang up
A mother hugged 
A child giggled

    yet it seems the month sped by too fast

  Glad to get January out of the way
    so Punxsutawney Phil can have his day...

Kept her upkeep to skillful advantage.
As the years sped past,
She maintained her class;
Not turning old but into fine vintage....

Evolution has sped up to speed quite frightening
Before we know it
Things emoted
As unfamiliar to us as a foreign asylum...

After pulling up he then got stressed
The place was haunted with spooks

He sped off not knowing he'd been test...

Or help other people and them try to feed;
Has exploded,
Media avoided;
Away into space he in Air Force One sped.

Some day out of all poets he will have lead;
We bet,
A record set,
And off into poetry heaven he soon sped.

Just some silliness

And trail weary toil.

With wooden shafts that sped
And left this traveler to lie
With poisoned arrowhead....

Tracks Or Train With A Tarnish


Either train itself or tracks had a tarnish;
Missions and goals difficult to accomplish;
Unstable section;
Was a detection,
As on the rails train sped and went swish.

Cletus O'Toole tested the slopes at Vail

   He met some trees as he sped t'ward the vale

      'Twas a short-lived journey

         Sprawling on a gurney

            His hapless schuss left him woozy and pale...

What I Love About the Lord

What I will always love about the Lord,
Is when he gave me a great surfboard;
Quickly sped;
Had hit my head;
Riding waves with it do look forward.
