Author's Note: This is my take as yet on Season Four's "Shawn Takes A Shot in the Dark." (Therefore it contains these spoilers.) It's a poem (going back to my roots!) inspired by the episode, a Villanelle (though it's more than possible I'm off with my meter; I'm more a "free verse" kind of girl), and is more a description of events than of a missing scene. The poem's language is also set to fit the rhyme. I guess I would consider this an Episode Tag. (Due to formatting, these ****** denote a stanza break.)

Reviews and feedback are greatly appreciated; constructive criticism is welcome, but I do suggest that if you're not a fan of poems, please don't tell me as much. I know that many shy away from poetry because they feel they have nothing in common with it, though poetry can also be narrative. Anyway, thank you and please enjoy. :)

Takes Just A Moment

A Psych "Shawn Takes A Shot In The Dark" -Inspired Poem

by silverluna

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Takes just a moment, aims the gun;

(Never stumbled to happenstance before),

Left its chamber, aimed to stun.

********************************

Locks the trunk, under opposite sun,

(He'll bleed a little, bleed some more)

Takes just a moment, aims the gun.

********************************

Kicks out the light, only wants to run,

(So certain that he'd earned this score);

Left its chamber, aimed to stun.

*********************************

Huffs for solitary glass, the only one,

(from tree's shadow, a sleeping chore);

Takes just a moment, aims the gun.

**********************************

Chases lovers with his days all done,

(writhing, begging on the floor).

Left its chamber, aimed to stun.

**********************************

Leaps from the crimes as if were none

(since arrival of the tag teams' four).

Takes just a moment, aims the gun;

left its chamber, aimed to stun.
