David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

A Trickster Cometh

Along street’s he’s casing, unseen in control
  Sickles and Scythes, double edged swords
 One hooks the young, other catches the old 
 And for winding up days, gets a tidy reward 
  Not diamonds or rubies, platinum nor gold
 But fruits, and candies, his Halloween hoard

Krish Radhakrishna October 23, 2022 at 2:10 PM David, a lovely poem and very unique in style and content! Good luck in the contest!! I love these 6 liners! David Kavanagh October 23, 2022 at 2:42 PM I’m also developing a penchant for the bite size poem, this one was probably going to turn into a halloween bloodbath, so I tried restraint and was happy with the sugar and spice outcome, cheers David

I Am Anaya October 22, 2022 at 4:20 PM Trick or treater's [what we call children here], be on the look-out this year, my word, tricksters have multiplied, best to hide and seek! Great bite size David K brought me a smile ~Anaya David Kavanagh October 23, 2022 at 1:33 AM The poor kids have a lot of competition as always Anaya, their costumes are fabulous, down to the last detail, still it’s tradition to try scare the hell out of each other in a friendly way, thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David

Sotto Poet October 22, 2022 at 2:26 PM This poetry, which was written with a lot of creativity, paints a magnificent image regarding Halloween festivities. David, you have written this quite well. This should be a winner. David Kavanagh October 22, 2022 at 2:37 PM Thanks Lasaad, I was always trying to mislead the reader into a dark oncoming demise, using dubious wording, a second read I think will exonerate the game, cheers David
