Bait Poems

you be the bait

you be the decoy, the bait, he said
why me? she wondered. Does he want me dead?
they were partners, detectives in D.C.
perpetrator would go after the likes of she.

Taking the Bait

I’m in a boat
  can you see me

Take the Bait and run

Daylight breath in my face
like primrose blooming in spring 
 sending fumes all over the place 
and I opened my mouth and gasp for breath

I twist and turn a dozen times
before I could drag myself out of bed
but I made one final leap and toss
the pillow  in the street
and break the sleep  deficit

we will use you as bait

We will use you as bait, she said
I stared at my partner, the head detective
Wishing that I had paid attention

• In the good ol' days
• I used to wait
• Nowadays I'm used as bait

Bait Fish

Isn't that fish called 
Bunkers, it's bait fish
To some it is bait
For most of us here 
In the Philippines 
It's called Breakfast
Lunch and Dinner 
For a few days.

Anna Banana

My cat Anna
She likes to slide
Anna Banana 
Coming in wide

Riding on the slimy peel
Paws stained bright yellow
Chasing after her next meal 
Furry white mouse fellow 

Stopping short, missing the turn
Sliding past the bait 
Doesn't learn, feeling the burn 
Tasty treat will have to wait

Mouse scurries out the gate 
Poor cat always late 

The Siren Bait

Yo-ho, all together
Hoist the colors high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die-

Sail the seas, calm or rugged
See what lies underneath
Creatures of old, the ship they drugged
To the cold of the sea, beneath

Among the men, there was a treasure
Diamond in the rough-
Chased by men, for their pleasure
Till she had had, enough

In the waves, conscious faded
There

She Took the Bait

I was having a beer at the bar then she walked in
It was more of a strut with the sway of her hips.
Her ruby red lips were made for kissing

In the mirror behind the bar 
I caught her looking at me and raised my glass.
She waited a while before she sat beside me. 

She ordered

BAIT

Shun the bait while there is time 
Not all moments are made to rhyme
There is greatness in rising after fall 
But, sometimes, better to shun the call 

Hands of temptation sway too often 
And your heart, it tends to soften 
But, you don't always eat the food 
Even if the taste is good 

See your

Bait

Watch out! 
She plays the seduction game 
too well, my friend.
Be careful now! 
Just the flick of her eyelid
hypnotizes 
benighted meek men.
Her come-hither wink,
enough to reel in
fishes big and small.

Tread with caution!
Don't fall for her charms.
She's a dangerous spider
luring unsuspecting prey
into her sticky, intricate web
with an enticing bait.
Beware!
She's led legions of men
to utter destruction
like a

Title 2/   BAIT
Quote:  Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare. William Blake


The transiting sun shines on you deceptively,
spreads shifting spectrum in chameleon sky,
the masked faces designed by innate ingenious craft, 
walk you baited on the golden garden’s blind pathway.

In the deluding dim night of deceptive dreams,
their footfall is unheard

“Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare” 
William Blake

With a fragile earth warm, I lure my Labeo rohita.
Minute minnows manage many magical Mackerels.
Shrimps attract snapper, arowana, and tilapia.
Aren't baits also in the form of bread, biscuits, and bagels?

Best cows as baits to lions, fleshy fawns as baits to tigers
Live dogs lure the
