Premium Member A Twisted Ploy
Somehow it seems life loses joy
A game, perhaps a twisted ploy
An end to those most tender years
The zest is gone, but life goes on
Till her last welcome breath is drawn
False hopes reality now clears
Somehow it seems life loses joy
A game, perhaps a twisted ploy

No one...

Premium Member It's Nature's Ploy
Where is it written that life must be enjoyed
To counteract the sad times, methinks it's a ploy
Lives shouldn't ever be filled with sad
Such a waste of a life to be sadness clad
There's no guarantees, so joy must be employed...

Premium Member Hate Be But the Devil's Ploy
Did you ever wonder about how is it that humankind harbors hatred
Did you ever wonder about how did life become so accursed
Why does Man, with darkness, does be acquainted
About how and when to the devil, did be acquiesce

Hatred does root from Man's heart
Sometimes it snatches...

The Thunderous Ploy of the Heart
Brave and courageous they know the power of love
Hearts that bleed
Live by the creed of love
Giving their all
Knowing that love is like a tidal wave!


Shadows of comfort sprinkle the faces of those in love
Blades of power hold their mouth
Words of silence can’t escape
The thunderous ploy...

A Reflective Ploy
A Reflective Ploy...

it is a reflective ploy;
on the part of me,
when proofreading
all this work of mine;
and do I really care?
that a full stop.
don’t!
or that commas;
are often too many
or misplaced.
now semi-colons
are useful dudes
to slam!
two slightly related clauses
- together. –
and as for the colon
is quite a pain...

Premium Member Warlock's Ploy
Warlock stands atop
Entire world, splashing hatred
Into each person
That ever hopes in getting
Ahead in this world of death

Where the plush is gone
Hope is ever elusive
And the spider weaves
His daring web of deceit
Luring the lost inside it

Warlock laughs at us
Thinking us to be lost souls
Without the darkness
That...

Premium Member Scarecrow's Ploy
Outside the house of a great and despised lord
There hangs an awesome scarecrow of might and fright
He’s ferocious and heartless in one accord
His beady eyes light up red, glows in the night
He starts fires in the pits under his control
To create fear in mortals inside...

Premium Member A Political Ploy
We abandoned our homes and friends for fear
of brutal gangs pushing drugs and firearms.
And we took months to reach the US border;
where ICE agents yanked my child from my arms.

No amount of begging would deter them;
I'm handcuffed, and my child's taken away.
Zero tolerance means there's...

Have you ever been
     Accepted,
By the right hand
     Of all man
Less it be by the hands'
      The hands, 
  Of Jesus Christ

Trump and Ploy To Annoy
Trump and Ploy To Annoy

Trump as usual appears as another ploy;
It is only designed  for his base to enjoy;


Rest of us will really irritate and annoy.

We did discover a Joe Biden ploy,
For him to employ and also enjoy,
Jokes compile;
Always smile,
While many others he may annoy.

Have You Heard About the Latest Ploy
Have you heard about the latest ploy?
To deploy soy,
Into everything I enjoy,
My tastebuds to destroy.

Never mind that an allergy to soy,
Could affect your boy,
Or that flour in anything you buy has been bulked up with Soy,
Or that there is no room in the product for...

SILHOUETTE (15/23) — PLOY


Fear distorts sense
Abrupt change rams;
Despair consumes

~~~~~

Here I curl
In poignant swirl
Of thoughts that hurl
For time and space
Create fond trace

Here I stroll
With touch that rolls
In tales I poll
Word writes that tell
How soul now dwells

Premium Member Holiday Limericks

The thought of holidays makes me crazy;
If not planned well we will become lazy.
My mom’s face turns very red, 
Seeing me always in bed.
She wants me to be like a fresh daisy!

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy;
All play and no work...

Much Sugar Less Joy
Am i speaking with a girl coy
And not sensible Billy Roy
Just cramming much sugar in soy?

Up appetite sucrose could cloy,
Sweetened meals hearts hardly buoy,
Much sugar and less joy,
Yes, time bomb treating as toy;
Not better than Rum for Ahoy!

I could swear a food demon's ploy
To their...
