Best Conniving Poems


Premium Member Conniving Giraffes
I've never seen a more comical face
than that of a giraffe begging for corn.
Its black tongue makes it look like a nut-case,
as its eyes stare down with an air of scorn.

Giraffes have a long triangular head
that sits high atop a serpentine neck.
And yes, they get...

Conniving Tongue of a Liar
Words blended with honey, dripping,
completely gullible, I continued sipping,
drinking in all those little deceptive lies.
and never once questioning the alibis.

Conniving sweetmeats slipped from a tongue
became fetid droppings, as offensive as dung.
Crafty candy-coated lies were only a fallacy.
Liars should be exposed for cunning chicanery. 

Go on...

Operation Conniving
So this is what it's like,
On the other side.
So this is what it's like,
To be the one who lied.
Operation Conniving.
Eyes open, doors pried.

Once I sat, reluctant to use what I knew.
Allowing the waste of a talent held by few.
Well, opportunity finally beat down my door,
Finessing...

Trump Thriving While Conniving
Trump Thriving While Conniving

Not only is Trump out there thriving,
He is also evil while being conniving,
And all are foes,
He does suppose;
Rest of us have been barely surviving.

He’s a conniving, wayfaring vagabond
Roaming around with nary a bond
He was a delight
Casanova all night
Many women became totally fond....

Premium Member Scribes, Conniving or Naive
Led by star,
Wise men came
to worship.

The Scribes connived;
or were they just
naive about
the secret plot

and very evil
intent of the King?
Oh, what irony!
He believed Scripture,
but used it to kill.

Trump Can Be Constantly Conniving
Trump Can Be Constantly Conniving

Knew Trump can be constantly conniving;
From golden showers has been reviving;
Good grief;
Beyond belief;
Amazing how his supporters are surviving.

Premium Member Conniving Toad Mothers
Mister Toad was relaxing with coffee,
His toes were warming up in the sun
Autumn cider was brewing
He was planning some leaf jumping fun

That is Mister Toad someone said with awe.
He is an amazing guy, always thinking of others.
His singing is wonderful; he can hum lah-dee-dah
He is...

Premium Member Taxfree Scheming
There once was a gullible taxman
Who dated a rich lady named Ann
When the taxes were due
She declared I love you
Why don't we take a trip to Milan

Premium Member Twist of Truth
My accountant’s forever twisting truth
between glasses of generous tall vermouth,
forever conniving to save face
while under breath reciting grace.

Endlessly playing the most convoluted charades,
he masterminds the grandest schemes and escapades.
Inevitably he comes to the same conclusion
that one day there will be no absolution;
still, he refuses to...

Premium Member Rabbit Hole
What dangers lurk
on the dark side
of one’s
imaginary world
what fantasy
will lure you
to your undoing
in such conniving ways
so innocent her smile
she will entice you
most beguiling charms
down an endless
rabbit hole
deceiving snare
illusion turned
to quicksand
and to what end you ask
it’s nothing more than
a silly game

Fly I: My Weak
Sensual betrayal,
Mind jumbled in a fight with itself,
Heart on it's own,
Emotions fighting to survive depression, 
Depression,
A shameless foe,
Who drains,
From both heart and Mind,
Mind on it's own,
Thoughts in jeopardy, 
Heart and mind become pitiful foes,
Conniving with and against each other,
To become my weak,

My tiny strength less...
