Best Vexing Poems


Vexing High

I’m caught in the midst of a dream I reside –
tumbling lovers tempting romance with pride.
Twisting and thrusting, to and fro with hate –
stumbling over a beautiful destiny and fate.

Creeping and crawling through shards of hope –
resisting the tension on a loveless, tight rope.
Shuddering in solitude, and mentally numb –
oblivious to the breakdown of who I’ve become.

Teasing and taunting, the years of lost time –
mocking their innocence with words and rhyme.
Insulting their integrity, of wrong over right –
disregarding true feelings, absconding the night.

Searching the wreckage, down high and up low –
for bits of true love and familiar pieces I know.
Vexing in torment, and accepting thy defeat –
of an unspeakable romantic tale of deceit.

when this broad brushes blokes
jaws drop roll and reconsider 

except the pyromaniacs
they can't get enough of her

A Very Vexing Election

Take not a lot of
Comfort in…The selection
Of this election!


Vexing Hex Number


Six  one  two  zero  six  six ... 
Sinners are always 
combination caught betwixt

Choosing whether 
lightning bolt free-falling thoughts,
are preferred over
UV temperature rising MK bought

Mind kontrol  is a vexing thing — 
But it’s the price one pays
when selling their soul,
for a precious metal 
ankle-and-neck chain outfitting

Six  one  two  zero  six  six ... 
Did a J.I. secretly identify espy you,
and upped the auction fix?
Thirty more silver pieces reasons
were tossed in the bid mix

Free will is a hex number thing — 
Yet it’s the item one buys
when selling out trusted those,
for some common paper
neck-and-ankle twine outfitting

Six  one  two  zero  six  six ...

There are six hundred and sixty six 
ways to die
The first and the last
are one and the same
You gotta fall on the double-edged sword,
into the rising flames

Six  one  two  zero  six  six ...

There are 666
devilish ways to die
When a sinner’s number comes up,
they always ask why

Six  one  two  zero  six  six ...

There be chances a-plenty triple six tricks
diablo ways to die
But will your first thought,
when taking your last breath,
be to pray for a lie

Premium Member Vexing Amphibian

Oh, the vexing amphibian - 
from the Nile or Caribbean.
Is it a toad or a frog,
a tadpole or polliwog,
a newt or salamander,
crocodile, alligander?
Oh, the vexing amphibian - 
from the Nile or Caribbean.

Murmurs from the womb beg, allow me a voice,
who will intercede for me or give me nod?
Countless argue, over rights to make this choice?
Many believe this right remains with God.
