Hoodwinked

I Write-
poems      for brouhaha contests-
perhaps of love
or nature or some gobbledygook interesting

but, I am left gobsmacks and dumbfounded 
'cause I took one point blank and sharp
to the heart . . . 
like-   I spent hours writing that la-di-da poem
and now I am left in a puddle-  of sad

what bamboozles was that theme-  I was hoodwinked
oh collywobbles !  I am befuddled and baffled
and making a kerfuffle is like    useless

So Looking-
for a      new contest that confuses-
that will bemuse, perplex, mystify and baffle me
perhaps rhyme
or free verse or some other form puzzle to play with
where I know I will be left in a puddle-  unhinged

                            and totally-   happy . . . .
