Best Mischief Poems

I’m straying away from the norm

It’s stressing me out to conform

A fave form I must adjust -

The last line’s bitten the dust!



Sweet Nina is causing mischief

I’m sobbing, she’s causing me grief

Limerick’s are divine -

This one’s missing a line!



My chosen form now has mutated

It’s modern, the...

rain-clouds hide the sun - -
vicars splash the pope and run
on to kiss a nun

The Sonnet is my favored form;
     with meter, rhyme, and feet, I do conform.
But what if I diverted, mixed
     two meters with a couplet rhyme, affixed
with syllables of eight and ten
     and feet...

Stealthily and with no invitation,
Wicked Mischief rides into my night,
dismounts and strides inside. How impolite!
For rudely she intrudes - this aberration,
bearing that unholy “deprivation”
strongly brewed with venom of her spite,
and if I can, I’ll try to expedite
her speedy flight;  thus my liberation.
My desperation’s growing...

No one at home on Valentine’s Day, our lips were already locked.
Getting used to being alone, our plans would have left you shocked.
Back from vacation, the Basement Trolls came strolling in, our night was lost.
But wait! My Hubby had planned ahead, perhaps we were still...

I think I have a grem/in, lurking in my words 
I'd left a win/ow open and thought it was the birds
But then I heard a thud and a cry for he/p
Saw the little blighter, the elf upon the shelf.

He got very hungry, some letters he...

Frogs
And snails
Don’t belong
On a teacher’s chair
Neither should snakes or small newts
Be slithering in Becky Peterson’s hair!

I have a cat with fur as soft as silk
Always Keeps a greedy eye on my milk
A cutie, I love so much
Sometimes, she acts like a witch
Then I cannot but give her a hard kick!

I have an unfriendly neighbor called Watts
One night my cat ate...

My cat is a rescue me,
The abandonment of loneliness
He had his Forever Home promise
My love and affection were his.

See, he turns out to be, 
Complete contentment we shared
Mutual grounds in battles, here
We did not care and laughed.

My cat was very special to me:
He was all...

I am a slave to my emotions
When my muse is on the loose,
She cares not what state I'm in.
I know she does not give a hoot.

I start to write not knowing where
she plans to lead me if I dare.
Back in time to my broken heart.
Or...

An example of Double Tetractys

Bored
nip out
and visit
the Library
carrying a rabbit and ask the staff
where the reverse
spell casting
books are 
kept

Remember when we were young, you and I 
Bit of boyish mischief we used to cause 
The swearing, pushing, shoving, and punches 
We'd put on the charm when it came to mom 

Bit of boyish mischief we used to cause 
You, big brother, I followed...

Insidious intentions to conquer 
Accumulation of funds 
Paper chase, multiple runs 
No mercy for the poor that plead...

A Blustery Autumn Day

Mischievous bursts of autumn’s laughter
Pulls down the last of the season’s bright artistry
 Carried away on blustery gusts,
  Weaving a tapestry of autumn’s magic
    In tiny whirlwinds of yellow, orange and umber –
     Floating...
