Introduction
This sculpture is frighteningly powerful. I used the whole sculpture for a pantoum which you can read here.
But this particular shot (no pun intended) set off another idea for a poem based on the Nancy Sinatra song "Bang, Bang" and the statue. It has to be a villanelle this time.
Bang, Bang

Bang, Bang You All Lined Up And Shot Me Down
You Fired Your Guns, Grinning As Your Shells Hit
Laughing Madly As I Fell To The Ground

Bang, Bang Your Shots Rang Out, They Were So Loud
You Spilled My Blood, No Regret , Not One Bit
Bang, Bang You All Lined Up And Shot Me Down

Bang, Bang Your Guns Were All I Heard Resound
You Wanted Me Dead, That Was Your Remit
Laughing Madly As I Fell To The Ground

Bang, Bang That's Your Power, Cowardly Hounds
With The Guns And Numbers You Made The Hit
Bang, Bang You All Lined Up And Shot Me Down

Bang, Bang And Now I Am Seeing Your Frowns
You Were So Sure You Had Really Done It
Laughing Madly As I Fell To The Ground

Bang, Bang I Am Still Here And I'm Not Down
It'll Take More Than Your Military Bits
Bang, Bang You All Lined Up And Shot Me Down
Laughing Madly As I Fell To The Ground
