Best Phony Poems

They protest to not be a drama queen
but just can't wait to jump into the scene
Pretending to be a friend
Verbal daggers they extend
Their true colors are now vibrantly seen...

A wet coin on the mall floor
of sanity's foolish hope

Lies next to others
thrown away by desperate measures
with limited dreams

As they sip on frappucinos;
non-fat coated sin.

Their broken backs
walking with stolen canes
off broke back mountains;
in God we doubt

Another exodus with no occupational hazards,
just dramatizations of puncturing joy...

NO-no! 
Now-now!
Naughty naughty!

we see you
posin' poser 
pretending to pump out popular poems

utilizing 
sneaky glitch tricks
don't act like you don't know... 

there you go 
posting poems
perpetually perturbed
  
agitated arentchya' aintchya'?
impatient 
mad man
feelin' flustered, FRUSTERRR...rated! 
flippin' flabbergasted 
aghast at absence 
of reads
down on 
knocked knees
prayin' please

If I care for a woman, but she doesn’t care for me,
I will just get up and not hesitate to flee.
I will not waste my time with such a phony baloney.
A relationship only works when there is mutual interest.
She has to meet me halfway; or...

Joanie Woanie,
you phony baloney.
When you bake a cake or pie,
why is your price so high?
Your merchandise I can adore,
whenever I am in your store.
However, there is one thing not great,
something that I cannot relate.
Your prices substantially fluctuate.
You can tell Sue and Eddie,
when you have your...

" A Phony Love In Vain "

These words I write with romantic dust
to blow into your eyes
with the hopes you see the loveliness
beneath my sad disguise.

To wrap you up within my arms
and cast the lovers spell
a stream of words that clearly speak
that have you love...

On the theme of playing monopoly, with fake money

IT AIN’T ALL THAT    

That’s all
As the rain responds to a rose’s call
That’s all
Since the only way I can get to her is to knock down another wall
And that’s all as far as I can see
That’s all and I’ve had enough if...

there is a darkness
inside my soul
that I cannot define
buried beneath
all the smiles
Is a sadness so divine
It makes me weep
When I am all alone
and have only the walls
to hear me cry
Outside of those walls
I put up a front 
and keep living a lie...

Taking 2 minutes , Thoughts come to me, The words don't
Listening to Duritz trying to find the perfect words to Jot
I stop kidding myself , My words are of insignificance 
I'm a phony, The thoughts are real ,but not the intention 
How I wish I...

Those Phony Tornado Warnings

By Elton Camp

The weather radio went off again
“Tornado warning,” it did begin

Tom flipped it off with irritation
“I truly hate that weather station.”

“For it’s ‘wolf’ they always cry.
But this time I’m not gonna buy.”

“It’s just that same old song.
Those dopes always get it...

sit and listen to the quiet
it's outside the christmas norm
because now, when all is silent
it's the calm before the storm

the kids are upstairs sleeping
you're resting, sitting with a drink
in a few hours ...storms a brewing
it'll push you to the brink

the kids are up and yelling
paper...

Rumble of news now!
Feint response anger' a showing?
Birth death.. Some gap.?...

We won't ever be anybody's red
caped tin horned hero. 
       We seem local and suburban.
                    All pleased.

AI GUY

Though I write from my app, not my impassioned soul
I'm praised and lauded as I play a poet's role
Don't tell me I lie
I'm just an AI Guy
Subterfuge is my game and a trophy my goal!...
