King of Spades

wannabe king smiles
bluffing bold with empty hand
yet in one last move,
he plays the lone trump he holds ~
mighty king of spades, pyrite

Sevens, Shovels and Spades

Sevens, Shovels, and Spades

Dig, dig, dig. Black soil and stone
Earth worms wiggle , Decay bones

Dig, dig, dig, scatter seeds there
Sprouting, searching sun and air

Dig, dig, dig, To hide our dead
Six feet under, body bed

Dig, dig, dig, create new life
Born of earth, Feed appetites 

Dig, dig, dig, Shovel and Spade
Flowers grow from planted pain

Dig,  dig,

King of Spades

You say I’m made to be a spade but that just curls my wings
I sit here ready to scoop up the widest range of things
Scooping apples off the ground and thrusting them all forward
To where the wheelbarrow awaits as I denude the orchard

They say to call a spade a spade is honesty at work
I do

Honoring the Queen of Spades

Diamonds steer clear, they know they are at the bottom of the heap.
Clubs do not fare better, but their secrets they know how to keep.
Hearts are a bit puffed up, they feel superior to the suits  below.
But the one who could truly brag and blow stays quietly, down low.

Yes, I am talking about the

Too Many Spades

Idly shuffle the cards
Lay them out on the table
In whatever shape you like.
Turn them over, one by one.
Is that Jack of hearts 
Your first real boyfriend?
The one who broke up with you
Because you “weren’t his type”?
The one who broke your heart 
For the first time?

Turn over some others.
Three of spades, seven of spades,
Ace and nine

Hearts and Spades

Red beams of neon outlining us
Red and black intertwining
Intervening
The red thread is still tied to
Our little fingers
Questions were never asked
Nor was anything mentioned
Where can we sell our souls
For a student affordable price
They know where
The shrill of the guitar
The bass of the drum
The black curtains are opening
It’s the commencement of a
Night you won’t remember
At least you

Annotated Poem Number 1

The silver king{1} banded with the dark queen{2},
United under the all-powerful one{3}.
Off to war, of armies of four{4},
together with the warrior son{5}.

Battle was fierce, many were slain;
The wounded wound-up in the history books{6}.
The militant{7} family crusaded on,
Striking fear and bringing heavy-hearted looks.

Victory was assured, no doubt to be had.
Until the mighty three{8},
Heads of armies be...

Buttercup Catfish Marmalade In Spades

Buttercup catfish, marmalade in spades 
Math scores come in scribbles called student grades 
Mutter sup fly fish, warlocks are outraged, 
Path doors run in nibbles, unholy paged. 
Silly verses delight in unannounced way, 
Top hats and top coats, swinging in the sway 
Dilly purses inspect a spectacular song 
Mop heads and billy goats doing nothing

Queen of Spades

Comfort me Queen of Spades
Hearts are just for show
Tired of putting my own on the market of trades
There are no benefits and the profits are low
Promises are never kept and the one to suffer is the pure of soul
Comfort me Queen of Spades
Let me play pretend in your arms
I need love even if it's fake
Been

Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades

Clubs.
Diamonds
Hearts.
Spades

Some are red,
Some are black,
Some are high,
Some are low.

If you are a bridge player, 
you know that some suits are better than others.
My family of origin used to play bridge with a
plastic cheater kind of card table cloth
you could tie around the table,  that told us 
how to play bridge step by step.

We must

Hearts and Spades

My backs against the wall

I don't want fall

but they passed me the ball

in a rut who do I call

gotta pay attention

attention gets paid

like if a woman opens her legs I get laid

but if she says no you should walk away and try another day

don't feel played

betrayed

like you didn't make grade

she was no queen of hearts

Queen of Spades

You come along to disrupt my life, after many silent years
Plunge in with your manipulation and lies, playing on fears
What gives you the right, to turn my life upside-down?
While keeping truth from me, as always, wearing your crown
    --- Like a Queen of Spades in a card game of Hearts ---
 

Jack of Spades

Jack of spades

(intro)  Fear not the dark queen skies
             The red crimson, tears of lies
             Fear not what you’ve been told
         

Spades

A friendship like ours, is one to be kept
A treasure in the sands of our lives
Buried deep, under cover, until we first met
and the spades to uncover it arrived

Spades made of laughter 
Spades made of tears
that sought out this treasure 
that we've held for years
But this treasure held wisdom
and opinion too
and by not really listening
I

The Ace of Spades

The woman was a water bearer:
Alluring as the refrain of midnight,
Alluring like the skin of an atheist.

The woman had been a prisoner:
Mandela urged me to furbish his door steps.
I waxed the knees of California.

The woman had been a singer:
All the way from Vancouver to Abbotsford
She carried her battle anthems.
I crafted time.

The woman had been victimized:
