Best Beware Poems

Night is growing bolder, reaching into day.
In the amber light mocking shadows play.
Howling winds grow stronger--see the branches sway.
Trembling leaves cling but soon are torn away.

In the amber light mocking shadows play.
Outside the fire’s glow something stalks its prey.
Trembling leaves cling but soon are torn...

The wayward wind forever so aloof
across the prairie blowing wild and free;
just like a herd of horses on the hoof,
and running loose with nature’s grand esprit.

A restless spirit is this wayward child
who’s never satisfied in just one place;
she longs to solve the secrets of the...

Beware     on Halloween             a Witches brew

If a golfer who’s clumsy and falls
Loses grip on the clubs that he hauls
	He'd trip on a trap
	With wood in his lap
And have problems in finding his balls!

Oh, little sister, just remember what I've said
Don't you worry 'bout those monsters, hiding underneath your bed
They think they got me scared 
Like a frightened little boy
But I got some news for them
I just bought some brand new toys

I have a super soaker, that's filled...

Can't follow 1040 instructions?
Need help claiming all those deductions?
Trump knows what you need
Is not chicken feed
But his lawyers skilled in seductions...

Last night in a forest, poor Dan

got bit by some creature. He ran

to the safety of home,

but as I write this poem,

he's changing! Beware the wolfman!

I write my poems with words that drip blood,
   Once written these poems are my treasures;
Poems floating and lost within a flood,
   Words of sorrow and of pleasure.
     These poems are to me my flesh and blood,

Be not soft upon the morrow
For the maliciousness it contrives.
The future beckons unending sorrow
To gamely catch the vulture's eye.

'Tis the destiny of mice and men
To be laid waste by nature's curse.
Where foolishness belied of ink and pen
Will by the margins burst.

Persist not in vacuous dreaming
To...

"To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering."
Friedrich Nietzsche

Some say life is a mirror..

Whenever he whistled his eerie tune,
he would always tell me,

'It's my death hymn.'

But, then a grin would appear on his face.

I can recall it was...

Tyrants fat upon their moon
With untold minions to command...
Knew a diversion would be needed
As malcontent laid waste the land.
They yearn to cast aspersion
By letting forth a hellish storm
Against those of us far far away
With thoughts different from their own.
What about the children?
They shriek about the...

Lake Eliza 2...
Out near dusty Lake Eliza
Lived sweety tart, where flies are
Sucked oddly Emu eggs some sunny days
Like a dozen egg appetiser     (1 egg = 1 dozen fowl egg)
She got em off the miser
Rotten eggs old Emu walked away  ...

~ Monotetra form ~

No man's eyes will ever conceive
the things another mind may weave
If this counsel you don't believe
You are naïve    You are naïve

What lies behind a masked facade
is oft' unfit to praise and laud
Tread lightly when sipping pernod
Beware the fraud ...

Thorn of the Rose
Beware thy fragile gentle sweet rose
When a dragon holds you to his nose
With those nostrils that ignite and flare
Or thou will no longer bloom so fair.

Burned to nothing but a brittle crisp
Dragon will then place you to his lips
He’ll gobble you up...
