Best Ventriloquist Poems

Thousand thoughts rummage the grey fluff.
Gloomy, godawful voices thump in self-talk
"I'm an idiot, a loser,...... it's all my fault".

Rant of betrayals suffocate my breath.
Capricious sentiments egg me to a wreck.

Loud conch shells stalk...

He walked on stage, the puppet in one hand
as the audience was clapping, for they knew
the act of this ventriloquist was grand!

and quite a sailor’s mouth that puppet had.
As long as his “sailor boy” had a joke,
the puppet...

He mimicked all who entered the darkened room, 
felt the fear in their eyes when watched with zeal.

His mouth...

How valued a ventriloquist would be
to hide behind and say my inner thoughts.
I’d smile and play the stupid wood dummy
and say all kinds of truth and not get caught.

I’d let him speak for me and freely tell
as people laughed at jokes and funny times.
Yet truly...

Corky Withers was a Very talented performer,
leaving audiences Excited and mystified

Ventriloquists can drink gottles of geer

They can’t say   Keter Kiker kicked 
A keck of kickled kekkers  -  they’re  tricked

Under a dim green light
Discloses behind a wood puppet

Ventriloquist---

Tongue,  mouth, brain, hands
My arm and hand in your back
With my lips tightly closed
You see my face I utter not a word
But I am screaming, singing, talking, yelling
Voice appear to come from this dummy
Did I say my arm and hand in his back
Guess I'm...

Ted could throw his weight around and that wasn't all
but also his voice enabling him to have a ball
no one suspected it was Ted who was a ventriloquist

wood and strings turn the clock's
 involuntary response. 
hands set in motion with 
the turn of a wrist, 
 half past remembering 
the moment before.

 odd numbered time signatures 
pull a wooden head and hands to fold
like some pocketwatch prophet.
 who shudders for a moment,...

Six friends met for seance
brought their dolls
placed ring-a-rosy in the center of a table
dolls holding hands.
Lights were dimmed
and seance session started
guests cast their voices
as ventriloquists to the dolls
without moving their lips.
The dolls gossiped among themselves.
No one knew who made which doll speak.

At first it was...
