Cheater and Cheator


Like two paynim peas in a pod,
their scurvy color
lipslick scheme is sour green

Got beady black eyes
scam shady — 
A graft gaze that squints bifurcated focus
from hocus-pocus pupils;
whose tainted teal look-see, aperture con-fidence teach
a vulture view!

Crafty condor blinkers reflect
cunning thoughts 
with a subtil snake-oil sheen

The scales of their subliminal deception
weighs silver speak fugazi
forge fraught
Cheating and conniving is the gold hush standard
of the blarney barker bling-bling

And cheator ear worms
dig every electromagnetic crypt-ic message
that the swindle Svengali sing-sing

Cabbage cheater chants
grow robber root rancor on the 
dire dark,
underbelly dusk horizon

Them pickpocket pants,
pig feet parlance, 
taste liquidity legume leper-con unlucky 
on welsh rabbit tongues

Dear friend, your diction is too lofty for an average poet like me. To be frank I could n't delve deep into your thoughts and churn its essence. Thanks for your kind visit to my page.
