A-To-Z War

Angry armies,
Blasting bombs,
Candy-coated
Dark damnations;

Eerie evenings,
Falling fire,
Ghostly, grasping
Hands, hellacious

Image isn't
Justified.
Killing; kingdoms
License "leaders,"

Madmen, monsters --
Naming night
Over oceans,
Plains, palatial

Queendoms; quickly
Razing rock,
Slaying silent
Towns.  Tomorrow's

Undone; under
Vict'ry's vile,
Wicked wager --
"X"-existence?

Yes-men yelling...
Zooming...ZAP.

~~~~~  ~~~~~

Escaping The Snowstorm

All alone,
Blizzard-blown,
Cage-caught,
Distraught

Erased,
Frozen-faced
Ghost-gone,
Hanger-on

Icy, ill,
Jumping Jill,
Kerb-Kicked,
Leeward-Licked

Melting, mutant,
Numbskull-nutant;
Onrush --
Plum plush!

Quivers, quacks,
Rest, relax --
Sip safely,
Take tea...

...until velvet white x's yield yawns...zzzz...

~~~~~  ~~~~~

The first poem, I wrote today (11/1/01).  The second was written quite a while ago in response to a "challenge" at a former site.  The idea, of course, is to use each letter of the alphabet, A to Z.

You have made it work well *S*

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.
