Flam Poems | Examples

Premium Member A B C D E F G H

awkward always alone Allie
bragged boastfully to baby Bertie Bill
clearly clarifying club-footed cloven Callie
deliberately deciphering dairy dung in Dickie Dill

easing eager Edgar’s electrifying entry
forever forsaking flim-flam’s frequent flam
greasing gray grannie’s gentle gentry
hardily helping herself to Harry’s hottish ham

KEEP FIVE ALIVE

KEEP FIVE ALIVE

It’s a five pointed star
Not the simplest by far
As thoughts are left ajar 
But for naught except Blahblah
Just that one last hurrah

They call it a pentagram
Sceptical is what I am
With all that flim flam
Rejecting the glitz and glam
You’re not a witch ma’am

Anxiety I try to quell
Nothing ever seems to gel
Please don’t cast a spell
You know that very well
Otherwise, just go to Hell

Premium Member Foolhardy Flim Flam Man

Convivial convict corrected coquettish cop
Deliberately daring her other shoe to drop
Energetically engaging her to listen to him
Frisky foolhardy flim-flam-man with extra flim.


Plus ou moins

Plus ou moins
I have a nasty cold
That doesn't want to go away
I am also all congested
There is a lot of flam
Coming out
From my mouth
I am trying to clear my through
Yes I already had my breakfast
Early in the morning
Raising bran, boiled eggs
And a banana
Now I am going to sleep
All day
At noon I got up
I made myself a hot toddy
Tea, lemon, and honey
And I went back to sleep
I was also sweating like crazy
Yes I am also very tired

Golden opportunity

The consistency of mystery
Drenched in it's simplicity 
Wrought with what would seem to be
To our participants complacency 
For a golden opportunity 
A trick our minds eye think they see
If not thought through quite logically
A flim-flam conjured carefully
Too easy to take willingly
For those grasping at something free
Fruit hanging low on fabled tree
So true it is too good to be
To test human morality
When seeking answers desperately 
In a place that's not quite fair.

A prince of the air.? As well; as of realty, a younger twig to whom
Some proffer fealty.. Has gotten much attention in a
Certain area; thing..While Julians life is upon the scales.! Will some changes ring?? These scales
He owns in part, as he sits on Wales..Incumbent royal' a
People leader.? Advocate of fairness or just w e f pleaser??


Premium Member A Heroes Welcome - For John

Flim Flam 
the hero man
sold his story
and away he ran
From Hanoi to DC
before swamps could be drained
karma would catch him
and rot out his brain
But the damage was done
in the Great Halls of power
as his bombs of war
the whole world did scour
So what is now left
when the hero has faded
same as it was
a nation all jaded
Clamoring to praise
what was clearly a fool
a spoiled near despot
the ultimate tool.

Empty Words

I've listened to a lot of shallow words in my life
 Words of empty meanings
 Words that just Past time 
Words that spark emotions 
And words that mean nothing at all
 I've listened to a lot of talk in my life 
Talks about future events
 Talks about things people want to do
 None of those talks added up
 None of those talks made a difference
 I've listened to a lot of flam in my life
 Flam about where people want to be
 Flam about what their expectations are 
Flam about what they expect of you 
And flame about how they love you
 Empty promises 
Forgotten dreams 
Morage of hope 
Like Water in the desert
 It doesn't last long

Premium Member Whiff Of Foolish Me

My friends have already revealed that I'm in loved with you
That's why I don't know what to do nor to say.
And so am I confounded as to how should I evade this ballyhoo
With no regret when I wake up early in the day.

It seems to me that you are yet unaffected
By the reverberations whispering in your ears?...
But if you'll only knock the portal of my heart unwavered
You'll discover that my heart for you wait and sears.

Others say... I am not perfect for you.
Others say... I am not the man you're looking for.
They may be right for making such comments like these
Comments, however, are not always impeccable and therefore, subject to error.

I may be a fool to love someone who cares not for me.
I may be a fool to choose someone who's not probably meant for me.
God knows how much I love you why don't you look back and see?
For the shadow of a man with sincerity and urgent plea!...

I wish to end this flim-flam jive 
Because I don't think the concerned is blind
Why don't you show me the feelings that you hide 
And make thine eyes sparkle again with pride!

Angiogram Plan

I’m going for an angiogram
With slanted rhymes I state my plan
In verse and meter try to cram
My words with all that old flim-flam

Since Days when I lay in my pram
This ticker’s beat to master plan
Ticked off more than expected span
Now due rewind for tick tock scan

My next door neighbours: Stan and Pam
Eat only vegetarian
They chew, with cake holes full of yam 
Eschewing lamb and ram and spam

But me, I’ll go for an Angio ‘cram’
That feeds my heart with special jam
Revealing truth on x-ray scan
To Doc Achan - cos he’s da man

So let’s hear it for the Angiogram
It tells what’s what in there, no sham
Like portrait by an old Dutch man
Displayed in Delft or Amsterdam

Then if for me it goes to plan
With prayer and blessed by God and man
And cardiology grand slam
My heart still pumping boom bang-a-bam

Premium Member We Are Word Players

I spit poems onto a page with increasing velocity
bam, wham, dram, cram, jamb, bam, flam!
Feeling like the flim-flam man that I am,
I do not wait for responses
Not caring about any opinions but my own

The seasoned poets invariably understand
throwing down their own missives at incredible speed
Breaking the limit and the barrier, engrossed and enthralled.
We are word players, imaginations on fire,
muses all aglow.

The words fall into jumbled piles, worrying us not.
Flowery missives wink their petals at us,
But we are in the zone, not paying attention.
The poems slide, twirl, whirl, and pirouette.
One of them stops to pinch my cheek and call me “Charlie”.
It is more than enough to keep me happy.

My Twin Flame

my twin flame 

dancing endlessly in the cold. radiating warmth and glow for the darkness seeking to settle around. i admired the flame warding off malice with such grace- allowing me to mirror its rhythm the best i could. my twin flame doesn’t burn out; the wick coiled around bonds protected by divine forces. cracking ever so slightly, my twin flam whispers promises of comfort and resilience. 

this isn’t a match burning fast and bright. this isn’t a fireplace yearning for wood to consume. this is a supernova burning at its core. this light won’t end.

Something broke me into god damn flim flam
Seen enough to know the game is up, shut up
Drown down to the gravel level bottom shakes 
Silence damaged COVID lungs like old movie remakes

Premium Member I Will Call Her Diane

This lovely poem is written in honor of my friend.
I will call her Diane, a friend dear to my heart.
It is not her name, but I am retaining her anonymity.
After her husband had an affair, it tore her apart.

This poem is actually in honor of him, the lying, snaking, 
thieving flim-flam-flimity.
If I knew his name I would say it, loud and tall.
Both names and his city, outing him nicely, and easily, with femininity.
I have no loyalty or love for him after all.

Slap her, kick her, pinch her, beat her.
Slap her, whack her, kill her, cheater.
Get out of her life, once and for all.
If we friends catch you, you will surely bawl.

You’ve done more than your share, you horrible rounder, you waste of space.
Of hurting a whole family. Your darling children are crying.
Your in-laws pick up the pieces that you have thrown out of place.
She will do much better now, without your cheating and lying.

Real Housewives Slam

The Real Housewives 
Sorry
Reality T.V Housewives 
What's that all about
Happy Wife 
Happy life
Jesus Christ 
Thank God for Nannies 
And Cleaner's 
And Make up Artist's 
Imagine any of these
Without the 3 R's to fall back upon
Rich's 
Rrendering 
Rhinoplastey 
And a cheating Husband 
All of the diamonds and all the plastic surgeons 
Can't polish a turd 
Even if it's covered in gold
Mutton dressed as lamb
Doesn't make a housewife 
Real housewives are loved not built 
Are Mother's 
Not Reality Consumerist martyrs 
Dressed in overpriced garters 
With fake teeth
Fake smile's 
Fake Boobs 
And even faker marriages 
With bleached and trimmed undercarriages 
Slam
Sham
Film flam 
Acting like there **** don't stink
Because they are so full of botox 
They can't even blink 
Can only be watched with the aid of a stiff drink
The mind boggles
How low can we go
Watch the show
