[hometext] => *An imaginary tale of justice in the Wild West.....or maybe it really happened sometimes?. Back after a while away and glad to be back
[bodytext] => They came at first light, sweeping in like raging storm Fast hooves and the clink of irons cut morning silence Justice would be swift, verdict of the bullet Final as full stop at the end of a sentence Jury on horseback gathered, while orange sun lifted into summer sky Painting long shadows in the dry dust of early morning Faces brief at half shuttered windows played unwilling audience To the clean and clinical, cold steel for cold heart The line moved forward, to meter justice for those of silenced voice No trial, just retribution marked by deed and smoking barrel Death would not be savoured, nor pity bestowed Merely chapter closed on a book whose story had soured Air stilled as if expectant, creaking door swung wide Light pierced smoky darkness, to the figure stowed within Surprise gave way to panic, took in the mask of fear This time there would be no escape, all forms of exit sealed Gunshot now played centre stage as heavily he fell Eyes stared cold and lifeless as so many times before Now he lay as victim, death claimed a soulless friend Where blood ran cold, the lost reclaimed, a life to save more lives.

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. ©
