Best Trick Up Poems

Forbidden fruit they had eaten
   At the bidding of the snake
New ashamed that they were naked
   They had to cover up, for Heaven's sake

"Adam, lets sew ourselves some fig-leaves."
   "Sounds good to me, dear Eve."
God paid them no attention

'Twas the night before Christmas...I was home all alone 
I had nothing to do...so I wrote down a poem
I just couldn't get it...my poem to look right 
Perhaps, it would look better...if I had turned on the light
 
Words were mspeld...and some were left out...

Would run you a hot bath
Bubbles up to your chin
Bottle of wine chilling

If you'd let me win

Would ask a sexy hunk
To sponge your back
Say sweet words in your ears
Bet you'd like that

Please can I win.

After the bath a nice massage,
By A film star lookalike
Any extras...

Many years ago I read a book entitled “Accidental Empires"
Of how a few men, from garden sheds, became multi billionaires
How could this be, what did they do, did they invent something new
Not really but if I say Bill Gates, Steve Jobs,  Apple Mac or...

Booga Booga Boo
I will say to you
On a dark hallows eve night
With a trick up my sleeve
And a treat in my bag
A great night for teasing and fright
With a mask on my face
To the door I will race
Only goblins and ghouls here tonight
With one simple...

“Please,” I said to God one day,
“I just need a friend.
One who’ll stay with me,
From beginning to end.”
I didn’t hear an answer,
I guess He was pretty busy,
I’ll try again later,
Maybe He’ll get back with me.
“I need a sister,” I yelled,
Hoping God might hear.
“Someone who won’t...

'Why so serious?'
                          He would say as he started to walk my way.

Neither fame, nor fortune sought,
sans this anonymous wordsmith,
whose quirky pastiche (no matter
evokes collywobbles, when risky
business undertaken to spill forth
most confidential personal woes),

broadcasting a heart of darkness,
Joseph Conrad might find quaint-
lee amusing, & considerably less
far reaching encompassing than
his (former) humanity ink home
passing (just one heir iz...

Quiet save for a morning glory’s cue 
Daylight decks the sky cerulean blue 
Sunday and like the hues of color wheels 
Old Man Dan hunts for all his fishing creels 

The rye grass cradles tiny spheres of dew 
Dawn fishing allures in lieu of a...

This is the kind of creature that goes out into the night to steal bricks to build its' niche.
It more than crosses a courtesy line. Happens more in  the winter;other seasons just fly by.
Swift as the bitter wind the creatures must move as the...

THE MAGIC OF OUTDOORS

he moved slow, with a limp
his cane grinding
in the dirt, grating on the pavement

his hat always prompt on his head
as he headed into the cold dark wind

then it swirled
the magic
a trick up his sleeve
pulled out some cards
laid them down
they were aces

a smile...

What will you do when I leave you in kind,
Though you’re treasured like apples and boon to the mind...
How to handle the fading of dreams that we share?

Favorite chair that’s seems empty and sad,
Or a poem that vivified both mom and dad...
Think of dawns you...

Sat by my desk day after day
Working here only for the monthly pay
Eight hours a day, five days per week
Every day I sit and shriek
At the constant barrage of abuse
With confusion leaving everything obtuse
	
People are in and out every hour
As if trying to escape the...

Flirtation is a game many of us like to play
It’s a way of showing someone that I like you in the friendliest of ways 
But some play too rough and end up hurting those who are not tough
However flirting can be fun especially when the...

Grandparents,
They love you no matter what
They listen to what you have to say
And give you advice you never want to let go of... even if you don't always take it... You will 
NEVER forget it
They tell you the greatest stories
*The best ones are when they...
