[bodytext] =>  I entered a country club estate. Folks stood on a dinner table. I was dispatched to a rattlesnake call. I'd remove it if I was able. But then I spied a coral snake Underneath a dining room chair. “What had I walked into” I thought. I felt more like leaving there. The creek had risen above flood height From a torrential mighty storm. Let's say that after a long drought This weather was not the norm. But when you wear the uniform And a citizen calls you for help You tuck your fears between your legs And you tighten your gun belt. And while they shivered on table top I got my shovel and a rake. Then I proceeded to remove those two Most deadly of all snakes. My next call was a gator call On top of a chain link fence. It had tried to eat two small noisy dogs Who were some people’s family pets. Some duct tape and some rope I used Then I dragged it toward a tree. And after securing that big boy, I called the Game Warden out to me. A herd of cows burst through a fence And stopped traffic on a main highway. I used my sirens and bull horns, To scare the cows to their farm that day. A Law Enforcement Officer Doesn't only go after crime. They are multi purpose soldiers, Knowing not what will come next time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
