Best Gotcha Poems
Gotcha
Lightning in a bottle
That is my little firefly
I gotcha right out of
The summer night sky
Gently captured now
In an old glass canning jar
You twinkle, twinkle, twinkle
Just like a little star
Riled up and startled
With a tap... tap... tap
Awaken and glow again
No more time to nap
Lightning bug...

When Proof of Gotcha Is Ignored
After reading opinions of many PS poets, I'm sick of hearing phrases like,
"it's causing big problems," "making me heartbroken," "it sickens me," and many other negative thoughts that are detrimental to the site. I've given up trying to comprehend why some use it and claim it as their own. It's the same with plagiarizing,...

Gotcha!
Tingly skies full of surprise- oh how I love when with surmise,
the little rascal aims his dart as if it were, poetic art.
Like magic, when he pulls his bow,
two hearts then tether in love's glow.
His arrow binds them then as one
to spin beneath the lover's sun
as special feelings grow and flow.
This happened when I was...

Gotcha
I never thought that I would fall
for that one prank telephone call,
I ran around my yard -
no hidden grand prize card...
not the next millionaire at all!...

Gotcha
Gossamer cobweb
glistens with
early morning dew
Spider poised
ready
to entrap
unwary victim

Ha ha ha gotcha!
Ha...ha...ha... gotcha!
The imagined intimated response
linkedin to a swindler's
imagined thought bubble
silently spouting you ain't nothing
but a pluperfect sucker...
rendered penniless suffered
courtesy a financial blow
now left forced to eat crow
forfeiting every last red cent,
plus if applicable escrow
being analogous to an indentured servant
denied luxury and security of nest egg,
hence peace of mind to forego
pipe dreams given the heave-ho
resigned to...

Gotcha
You feel threatened
Some call it paranoid
Unreasonable suspicion
Just because the guy driving beside you
Cut you off then
Gave you the finger
No need for alarm
Just because your girl found a new boy friend and
He’s 6’6
Weighs 230
Showed you the knuckle sandwich
No need for alarm
When the coach put that new kid in
Sat your ass...

GOTCHA !
It creeps up each year before November,
When the darkest of nights come around.
The kid looks around for a hand to dismember,
To the churchyard he strays, to hallowed ground.
There the dead he finds, cold in the grave,
With spade in hand, he searches you out,
Digging each spade full, he thinks he is brave,
Black cat jumps up,...

Bang, Bang - Gotcha
Cops and robbers, we used to play
Our default way to pass the day
We'd trade off, so we'd not get too bored
Not enough excitement, too little reward...

Gotcha
The orange juice was being sold
At quite a nifty price.
I bought a few containers,
Feeling proud, not thinking twice.
But something made me double-check,
Since looks would not suffice,
And that is when I noticed
What I don’t think’s very nice.
Each orange juice container,
Looking normal, to entice,
Was a bunch of ounces smaller,
So I offer this advice:
When a bargain is presented,
You...

The wheel chair flew by like a gun
Which left me standing quite stunned
The crippled old goat
Grabbed my camo coat
He can hide but he sure cant run...
