Widowmaker Poems | Examples


List of Member Poems

Premium Member No reason for a killing season

A tisket ,a tasket
Kirk's cased in his casket
This earth no more walking
All from his straight talking
Drove Tyler Robinson
To fire one shot from his gun
That produced his  silence
Leading  to more violence
Never a solution
Rather revolution.
 A wife of husband bereft
Two kids fatherless left 
The Second Amendment
Was never heaven sent
With the  grim widowmaker 
No more than a lifetaker.

Is that to be the future
Bullets us to butcher?

Widowmaker

Widowmaker hangs above
Look up! - for those
That don't - Put those cell phones away!
Or a life may be taken by
What lurks above - waiting for
A gust of wind to shake it loose
To bring devastation - as you can see a
Widowmaker hangs above
