Best Bluff Poems

The grumpy Cape skies
whipped wrath unto all of it.
Everybody cried.

Blindly back and forth I chase
Some pretty girl’s façade
Instead of finding truth and grace
Each time a charade

Seems like Blind man's Bluff's my game-
Always seek, never find.
Places and faces change, life's still the same
Despair fills my mind.

(chorus)
I'm tired of playing Blind Man's Bluff,
Chasing someone I cannot...

Willow's Bluff  (Part 2)
   by Amy Swanson     2.9.2009


The whispers getting louder now,
my screams rose silently
trying to escape my lips,
my arms now  beating violently!

"Let me go! What do...

An eerie little poem for your enjoyment. 

It's fiction but inspired by a little cave I found this weekend on my woodsy walk ;)
(minus the ghostly whispers!  "OooooOOOO!" heheh) Also a bit of a message in this one.

So this is me
calling your bluff
I refuse to believe that
goodbyes enough

So this is me
staying up late
waiting for the call
you promised yesterday

So this is me
tearing apart
every letter you ever told me
that forever’s just the start

So this is me
trying to forget
but these empty bottles
leave me only with...

"Upon this rock I will build My Church!"

There it perched upon a bluff high above New England's rugged shore.
Its glass-stained windows, now shuttered, were closed forever more.
What once had been a vibrant house of worship now stands forlorn,
Surrounded by wind-swept cedars, a few wild roses...

I know of our neighbor called Kimbo

who joins poker deals like a gizmo--

  he slammed one big bluff

  lost all his rich stuff--

paid  debt cleaning old waiter's limo !

I found you gal		
And felt so grand.
I placed a bet			
And played my hand.
But I was suckered		
By your bluff,
‘Cause what you offered	
Wasn’t love.

I still remember,		
Way back when,
You upped the ante		
Once again.
The stakes were higher	
Than I knew.
I lost my soul			
When I won you.

I’m gonna dry		
My tears of...

Why has natural human beauty
Been deemed as not enough
Faces plastered and glued
With artificial,  unnatural stuff

False eyelashes glued on
The length of camels plus some 
Faces orange or unnaturally brown
Not touched by natures sun

Lips injected and pumped
Botox faces unable to move
Veneered teeth blindingly bright
Faces with so...

HOW TO BLUFF OFF THE CUFF

You'd better be tough
when the cops and the weather gets rough
here there isn't any flight or fight
that ain't right
it's whatever our godless deities had already willed
it's kill or be killed
because no one here calls another's bluff
just take life off the...

Wedded Bluff
You've made an invalid selection
The gal you picked was once nice
And she was once good in bed
Now it's all **** up worst damn way
You're stuck with a complaining wife
Three decades of pure effing bliss

——-Whispers———-
——-My angel, my love, held in this dangled glove——


Concupisscent, 
he deals in facts, got him stuck in my brain
Attacked and dressed to kill, 
commanding campaign
Hot blooded never ceased, 
leaves me within emotional chains 
has me chaotic, 
around him I have no shame 

A charming disdain,...

Scent spills sift
White wine whiff


Sound sleep saves
Big blooms brave


Rest ripe roar
Sleek sounds soar


Set sure style
Mist moves miles


Race ripe rest
Feel fear fest


Crude crisp creed
Bright blood bleeds


Buzz breaks boom
Gripe gloats gloom


Note nerves nice
Sprint sour spice


Sense strange stuff
Blind boast bluffs

BRING IT ON

Bring your unreachable,
Bring your difficult,
I am tough,
Bring your burdens,
Bring your depressed, 
I’ve gone through rough,
Bring your exhausting,
Bring your untouchable,
Know all that stuff,
Bring your unorthodox,
Bring your unspeakable,
Bring on the powerful,
I’ll call their bluff,
Will take them by the scruff,
For I have had enough!...

The sun’s rays
Beat through the clouds,
Creating silver sparkles
Upon the crest of the waves,
Which surround the lonely sailboat drifting 
Towards the small rocky island.
Green tuft of trees, like hair,
Growing over the bald spots.
Small cottage clinging to the point
Like a poor man’s castle.
The arbutus are shedding their...
