GUNS Sonnet

Guns, guns good for your heart
The more you shoot humans dead,
Higher they will pile on a cart.
At least that is what has been said.

It is our job to sort out the bad
And shoot them as much as possible
Until it is no longer very sad.
Pile them on the cart, not to hospital.

A gun in my house, maybe two or three,
A gun in my vehicle front and rear,
I can not wait to go on a shooting spree.
At sight of the dead I'll shed no tear.

Shoot em up, shoot em down blast em good,
Not going to find welcome in this hood.

Yes, I dreamed it up. I can write a sonnet in 10 minutes max. (3 stanzas---four lines each--- every other line ryming, ending with a couplet that rymes)
However this is the first time it attracted any attention----guess guns do it everytime?
I'll write one about Tiger and Mr. Richardson and Newt if interested.

(Newt fowled up three; while Mr. Richardson (and the fellow from SC)got sucked in by young flames; and Tiger of course (golf course)just wanted a breeder....

But someday they will all find who they want when they meeter!

Is ryming like rhyming, or is it more of your Scandinavian talk?

"h"s are useless---never pronounced.

Since the Sonnet is not in Iambic Pentameter it is not a rhyme, it is a ryme, with the "h" silent.

It is also a recognition of Leigh Ann Rimes, who rimes all of the times.

I don't expect you to see much in a Sonnet except typos. But if it weren't for such shallow critics I wouldn't bother to write here.

Two things here, I point this out to you because you always point out other peoples mistakes. One h dropping would be a typo, twice is just plain wrong, but you go ahead and lie about, I expected nothing more, or less as it were.

You are obviously boiling:

peoples = people('s) (or just: other's mistakes)

go ahead and lie about, = lie about (it)

plain wrong = plain(ly) wrong

it were = it (was)

Just take your time---we are just having fun!

It is a "satiric sonnet!"

You know the cave men used to do the very same thing only with clubs and finally sharpened rocks on a stick.

Did you ever publish that book that you were talking about a few years back? We sure had some nifty names for it like "Half a dollar a day and gone" or "One Dollar Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest". Smiling

"More Than One Cuckoo in That Nest" ?? You do know he really thinks he is a poet----maybe he will be named Poet Laureate of LaLaLand.

Submitted by Bonkers on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 7:40am.

I would be more than happy to review any poetry that you might have written! I can be open-minded, I think.
I need no recognition from any land.

Submitted by MYTMITE on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 10:38am.

not be posting your "Satiric Sonnets" on this site but writing them and putting them away for your children to bring out in later years and have published giving you posthumously the glory you long for. LOL. I am afraid I cannot submit my poetry for your critique since I would be crushed if it did not rise to your standards. Besides, if I posted my poetry you would then know who I am and you know what happens to people who's identity becomes known on this site! Therefore I shall remain anon. TaTa for now.

Submitted by Bonkers on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 12:54pm.

You write poetry naming yourself?
I don't criticize others writing...I just quit reading some.

Submitted by MYTMITE on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 1:01pm.

I would name myself I just said you would recognize my poetry. I may even be one of your other 'selves' that you have forgotten about. LOL
