Wings flexed,
Legs bent,
Up ladder,1
Big tent.
Watch birdie
Hit vent.

Shades of Hate-Ya Voodoo.

Rung one,
Take two.
Small bloop,
Redo.
Watch birdie
Change view.

Shades of Hate-Ya Voodoo.

Sight prey,
Aim gun.
Quick bang,
Light fun.
Watch birdie!
Job's done.

Shades of Hate-Ya Voodoo.

Bird humming
Steals Shot,
Choice footage
Pressed hot.
Roast turkey
Hits spot.

Shades of Hate-Ya Voodoo.

Well framed
Misstep.
News hawk
Hasn't slept.
Doze can't
Be kept.

Shades of Hate-Ya Voodoo.

Plump chick
They pluck.
Mute swan,
Lame duck.
Lost quack,
No cluck.

Shades of Hate-Ya Voodoo.

See scoop
Hit fan,
Smack shield,
Cut span.
Life chucked,
In can.

Shades of Hate-Ya Voodoo.

Disturbing Hate-Ya Voodoo.
Blemish-focused,
Folks that poke us,
Through a spotlight
Void of insight.
Shrinks of lewdness,
Full of rudeness,
Shades of Hate-ya Voodoo.

Those picks
Don't lie.
His rep
They fry.
He longs
To die.

Shades of Hate-ya Voodoo.

Nailed to
The wall,
They're seen
By all.
Darts thrown,
Fowl Call.

Shades of Hate-ya Voodoo.

Poor eye
Doll, he.
Why must
He see
This "Shoot-
Me" spree?

Shades of Hate-ya Voodoo.

There's no
Escape
From what
They tape
Beneath
That drape.

Shades of Hate-ya Voodoo.

Save from
The Lamb,
The great
I AM,
Who owns
The cam,

Bane of Hate-ya Voodoo.

He will
Erase
The 'dis'
From grace,2
Help teen
Save face

From works of Hate-ya Voodoo.

The reel
He'll roll
Up like
A scroll,3
Form gems
From coal,

Thus making his life brand new.

It's not just for the Jew true.
The First and Last
Blots out the past
Through His own blood,
Pure, spotless flood.
Bright shining light,
He sets things right,
When yield Him your life you do.4

Very sophisticated poetry with a strong message. Congratulations!

This is very good indeed. My one observation would be that the superscript right at the start is a bit of a distraction and could easily have been omitted. I admire your creativity
