Gimmickry Poems | Examples


AI Detectors or Art Detestors?

Despite your intelligence mimicry,
You still come far short in your gimmickry,
Throwing down the drains fine masterpieces,
Flushed away as a fresh bout of faeces.

Nights without sleep to pen wonders on sheet,
Yet a lame detector brands one a cheat,
An app claiming to be a true genius ~
Is far from being labeled ingenious.

How long will your pretence rule human minds,
Before you're swept off by the southern winds,
That your charade may stop to fool the world,
And your foolishness may at last unfurl.

Strange how your fanbase keeps on increasing,
Even the most smart, you're daily fleecing,
These cursed detectors come in many brands,
Some free – yet some charge dollars and rands.

I'm amazed you didn't claim this was by you,
This bitter pill, your pride has had to chew,
But that won't stop me from calling you out,
To nip in the bud your infamous clout.

Premium MemberJolly Trip

So it goes as it was planned, relatively fine
Or in case it isn’t, one can change the view
From the vast perspective of the God’s design
Aren’t we doing well what we’re able to
Or in case this world is a Devil’s creature
Everything's still better, than it might have been
Everyone performs what they have to feature
So it goes accordingly with the plan unseen
In the light of reason, though, mysteries cast out
Gods and devils gimmickry is a tale of ruse 
There's no plan considered, so we live without
Any higher guidance which might speak the truth
Welcome back to freedom, which was never free.  
Meet the right of free speech under censorship.
Implications altered, and it's plain to see 
The direction taken by this jolly trip.

Premium MemberDie-Hard Rock and Rollers

Death parodied Iron Maiden's band
with satirical mimicry,
a Twisted Sister bandstand
complete with flames and gimmickry.

As die-hard rock and rollers danced
Death parodied Iron Maiden's band,
the reaper keeping souls entranced
while maintaining the upper hand.

Beelzebub was Death's stagehand
languishing in the flames of hell,
Death parodied Iron Maiden's band
until the fallen angels fell.

His guitar screamed heavy metal
the kind of tunes parents banned,
annoying as stinging nettle
Death parodied Iron Maiden's band.

Just a Giggler

Ahhhh the stupidity
of man and his cupidity
and true most admittedly
we use quiet befittingly
yes this is written for gimmickry
like a lot of my work characteristicly
being impish in its equanimity
leaves me most optimistically
questioning its readability

In the Darkest Hour

Orchestrated plots from the birth of corruption
Meticulously cunning, blue print semantics
Shadows overriding sheer manipulation
Much more to its sleeves, sly gimmickry and antics

Overlapping smokescreen piling up to its feet
Diversionary tactics, garden variety
Principles dropped, conceded an utter defeat
Distraction thirsts for blood, hounds for the killing spree

When darkness overcomes the illumination
Claiming a population, an epidemic
By the hundreds on process of elimination
Resistance is futile to such obvious logic

Retaliatory, uprising insurgence
The masses’ response with strings attached
Casted under a spell, hypnotic indolence
A fearsome adversary, no other can match

Time’s in fast changing pace, turning the wheels of fate
Right up into the very heart of society
An impending apocalypse spearheading straight
The core that dictates man’s unending enmity

Premium MemberIn the Garden of Eden

In the Garden of Eden, all peace and tranquility
Until Satan in his prideful rebellious season
With his gimmickry introduced sin willingly
In the Garden of Eden

Oh! The separation between God and man_ depletion
The cross held one God/man whose love is affinity
This constant love draws man it's a life saving beacon

God had a plan to save man from his fallibility
There 'pon that cruel cross when it seemed Satan had beaten
Jesus saved man, He lives again_God now our total accessibility
In the Garden of Eden....
