Best Tricks Poems

It was a party like most, I guess
And not a “fun” one, I must confess
But our hostess I adored
And I just couldn’t say: “I’m bored”,

So, I milled around, and said “Hello”
And tried to fake a “party glow”.
Through my third glass of cabernet
I tried of something...

Wherefrom poetry shades recall,
and the other side of yesterday
is but a dreamt hallucination,
can't see the foliage from trees'

'midst hues of baubled madness
& vaporous sentiments are replete
within day-trippers' remote motives,
shadowing delusional chicanery
of rosé-tinted Jedi mind tricks...

I need to work more magic
You’re not as easy as I thought
It’s going to take a little more
Than a rabbit out of a hat

I’ve already done the slight of hand
And all the card tricks I know
You just don’t seem to get it
Or you’ve seen it...

   Here I stand.
   Covered in mud.
   Slouching about.

   Momma told me not to come,
   But the boys made it sound like fun.

   We tied a rope to the tree.
   Swung...

All treats and no tricks.

Said the man in the scarecrow hat.

Apple cider and pumpkin pie.

Candy bags filled a mile high.

But no tricks from the skeleton costume.

Just hershey bars and three musketeers.

All treats and no tricks. 
 
Said the whichy woman with a broomstick
in her hand.

Just...

Don't stack your winter clothes away,
rain or cold may return to play;
mad weather brings blues,
happy music soothes 
when sunshine tricks May!

Campaigning must be very laborious 
For democrat Hilary Clintorious 
Folks say she’ll oust Donald Trump
Enthroned when taking a dump
These nasty rumours are so darn spurious!


May God Bless America - she sure needs all the help she can get!

Thanks to Duke Beaufort for letting me use...

Trying to teach his

His canine named

Refused to roll over
And seemed totally
blind to thrown
sticks...

Can you teach an old dog new tricks
More than chasing balls
Or chewing up sticks
Everyday brings something new
So what do you think 
It will teach you
Will you learn to love or to hate
Will you give your heart or will you wait
Hold on to your past or...

I am watching liar
Go from tears to grace 
With the same indistinguishable sallow face
And emotional state of fluxed empathy
The frown conceals 
Beneath the brow of dirty tricks 
Without a flicker 
To wake's each day ever slicker
More experienced in the dark arts
His twisted seed imparts 
On...

Halloween was his big chance to go wild
  Kids rang his doorbell
  Screams issued from hell
And if a kid yelled ~ Why, he was all smiles...
