All that racket!

No use shooting
them.
Cricket....
Cricket ....Cricket....
billions of them.

Not much ammo.
Got to consider that,
plus the time.
The time -
Gotta get some shut eye.

Now the slamming starts;
car doors -
back door -
heart valves.
Bill`s damn dog
ain`t gonna stop yapping.

Gotta think about the law,
while a gravel truck
off loads in the back of my head.

Still fingering the solution,
As it gets lighter

In my hand -
gun metal
tastes
like
relief.

Thank you for your entry into Odin's Opposition Linda!

Perhaps you'll rise up, drink from the Well of Wisdom and be crowned the 'bringer of victory'?

Best of luck in the battle!

I am very pleased to have received the Merit Award from Odin`s Opposition for "Shut Eye."
I am also pleased to inform our members that "Shut Eye" was recently published in the Spring issue of Loch Raven Review, with another of my poems entitled "Mama`s Boys".
