Best Trifle Poems

Pretty crystal dish that holds
A rainbow delight
Layers of coloured custard
Jam spread sliced sponge cakes   
Sprinkled with sherry
Meringue topped
Dream!

TRIFLE WITH ME

O trifle with me zephyr wind —
too kind for my mood.
Your flirtatious regale
smoothly entices my smile —
stop that

A halo over my head, 
the grandiloquence of the moon —
like the zenith of Everest,
a cordial candlelight
pulls at the corner of my lips.

The starlight spreads
like a...

I ask this of you
Never to trifle with my affections
My precious little heart can't hold it
For a caprice it's not built
It's banks are full to the brim
and the walls are but weak
Please do not break my little heart
There's not even one unscrupulous bone in me
If...

Sitting in a food court, watching the people
Interact with each other, they follow like sheeple
If someone says jump
They interrupt their lunch
And oblige which is certainly a trifle bit creeple...

On early morn
children were playing
at the river’s shore

close to the noon
soldiers came
out of the blue

by the dim
river red
played theirs sins...

IS THAT A TRIVIAL TRIFLE OR A RIFLE?

Weightless
Weightless while watching ripples row their way across a wading pool 
A pool that portended peace
A peaceful pool in the coolness of a kiss in springtime            ...

An ambitious luscious wedding cake
To share with friends and family dear 
I shall happily endeavor today to bake
With the purest ingredients, nothing fake
Only the best I vow to make
It will absolutely smell devine
A taste so precariously sublime
Made with beans of purest cocoa
A heavenly scent to...

It falls...
With grace above pearl clouds
Afore it screams once more
It will scream one thousand
Before you lose your breath

High above reproach
It makes the speeds it sounds
Unheard tears cry symphonic
But, all I hear is death

Play the notes which hold 
Cutting circumstance upon the air 
Like silent wings...

Poem which doesn’t end up as a horrific gore-fest...
This is one such attempt...]

My crystal ball is telling
predictions of other types,
though trifle to you all,but
important to me.

what a good news for my son!
Our lost kitten will be back,
the red robin will build nest
again in garden.

the rose plant which you gave me
will be in full bloom this year,

Trifle Un Delightful.

If life is a Trifle
Un delightful
As it seems nothing goes to plan
Your left in a spin
But you try the best you can
If your that kind of woman
I’m your man

If you want plenty of cheer
After a few beers
And someone to dry your tears
I’ll do...

IN THIS MOMENT
NO WORDS ARE SPOKEN
THEY SIMPLY FLOAT
ABOUT THE ROOM
WE ARE FROZEN
SPELLBOUND
IN THE HAZE
LIKE A DREAM
WE HAVE HUNG
SUSPENDED
WE DESPAIR THE END
THE PASSING
IT'S THE FIRST DEATH....

MERRY CHRISTMAS

It’s that Christmas time of year
Everybody is of good cheer
The Christmas trees are covered with lots of tinsel and lights
There are beautiful sights everywhere at night
Santa Claus is on his way
With Rudolph out the front, leading his sleigh
It doesn’t matter where you live, whether...

There once was a shutterbug named Louie
Whose dry humor was a trifle screwy.
To a saguaro he said
Hands up lest I shoot you dead.
A shot; a flash; kablooey went Louie.
