Unworldly Attackers

( #unworldly #attackers #flash #fiction ) "Looking at Paris in this light makes me wish for the safe times of our youth." "But when was the last time you had this much fun?" came a smoke filled voice from behind her. Jill glared at her brother's ash covered face. How could he consider this fun. She had just survived from being crushed with the burning beams of the Eiffel Tower. The hairs on her neck had been singed by the heat coming from the molten metal. Reaching back she rubbed her neck to ascertain the damage. Her cooler hand touching her neck provided some relief to the pain that she was feeling. She looked around the dry dusty water for some sign of water that she could use. Resigned to her situation she gave up the look. She looked back out the opening in the wall, just in time to see the unworldly projectile flying towards them. There was no time to escape, the world was doomed. ©2017 Brady L.B.

Calling her name

( #poem #poetry #free #verse #name #gas ) The nice quiet night Sitting there without fright What a time What a night How could this peace end Without warning, sight, plea, or writ A rumbling began to grow Oh please Oh please No. How could this happen now The pressure growing within The displeasure showing My mind anguishing What if she hears What if she knows The terrible sound It will come. Brrraaapp! She did wail "Did you call me" ©2017 Brady L.B.

Time

( #time #poem #acrostic #BradyLB #pondering ) Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick  I drink this ugly center link  My demons bring me to the brink  Every time I think   Though I have no time  If I could only stop this crime  My life would be able to chime  Even Deep life's rhyme   Time is running out  Is this my worst thinking blowout  My mind is full of selfish doubt  Even you should shout  Time to get going  In all things that you need doing  Move your demons aside knowing  Endings are showing ©2017 Brady LB https://wattpad.com/story/116045790

Write

Lost

( #poem #lost #meaningless #sorrow) How How can this be true? I have come down this path, without a true clue. The problems in this path are many. How How I feel no one understands. The closest ones to me rail With them I can not band nor stand For what a grand failure I am. Listen They do not listen, always talking. As if they glisten While balking. Meaningless Gone One day I will be long and gone They will complain No one listening to there song To their disdain I am ©2017 Brady L.B.

What

( #what #poem #song ) What are we doing? Why are we here? Hear the sun singing In the sky there. The song is bright But out of sight. See we not the song Loud as a big gong Because it is always there. ©2017 Brady L.B.

Swimming Pools

( #poem #pool #swimming #summer ) Swimming Pools Water everywhere Nothing here to drink Heat flows over there Is that liquid pink? Why did I get in?

Silly dog

What a silly day You have brought this way I cannot thank you For how much I grew I took you for a walk Thinking you could not talk I didn't know what to say When I learned your way You told me about the squirrels How they made your head twirl With their constant noise spawn Until the day's dawn You expounded on protecting the neighborhood From the devious uniformed men, as you should For they go to everyone's door Looking for more The giant metal beast that humans trust You will continue to try to make them bust Their tiny little legs move faster life That is why you try to remove them with your teeth knife Oh silly dog, what can I say When you have told me your way ©2017 Brady L.B.
