Derailed Quatrain #46

Fighting through Jell-O

wading in marshes surrounded by fog
climbing a mountain, no end within view
tread in an ocean, on come the waves
crown in a sandstorm, never to find

Derailed Quatrain #45

Collide with the Dreamscape

rolling hills that slip right through your grasp
faces changing, people come and go
not like a storybook, does this turn out, alas
caught in the ether, dying embers glow

Derailed Quatrain #44

Evil shall Die

load the gun and cock it
pad across the hallway
find and kill the victim
swift but ever sneaky

Derailed Quatrain #43

Assaulting Land-O-Lakes Castle

he hacked and slashed upon that hardened slab
scraping only tendrils good for naught
and when at last a chunk came flying off
it smacked him in the face and knocked him out

Derailed Quatrain #42

Don't say that

He wrecked his jeep
while following the hearse.
Then said as he began to bleed,
"How could this day get worse?"

Derailed Quatrain #41

Glorious Charge

swords at ready, shields raised high
prepared to bleed, to take the blows
for family and friends, for lovers and honor
we shall win, or we shall die
