Juggles Poems | Examples

Juggles of Times

The water I see seems to be a mirage.
Facts and fancies, like chameleons, camouflage.
Abysses seem shallow when they are measured.
Within wombs of tombs, riches are treasured.

Sketches that look like walls, in truth, are poles.
Hurdles hold their heads high to wreck the goals.
Beasts that dine on guavas aren't crows but bats.
I cut short my tours, confronting black cats.

Peeping through the holes of towers, I faint.
With colours of likes and dislikes, I paint.
Shouldn't I reach the top? Should I go back?
With loads of despair, my corridors crack.

THE PAINTED GRIEF

The laughter rings, a hollow sound,
Across the painted, cheerful ground.
A mask he wears, a painted smile,
Hiding the tears for a little while.

Beneath the greasepaint, shadows creep,
Where buried sorrows lie so deep.
A heart that aches, a spirit torn,
A silent grief, since early morn.
The spotlight shines, a cruel display,
For joy he feigns, though hope's astray.

He stumbles through the practiced dance,
A fragile soul, caught in a trance.
The crowd below, they cheer and clap,
Oblivious to the silent trap.

They see the jester, light and free,
But not the pain he hides from thee.
Each hurried bow, each clumsy fall,
Conceals a memory that enthralls
His weary mind, a haunting scene,
Of what has been, and might have been.

The music swells, a vibrant beat,
Contrasting with his inner defeat.
He juggles tears he cannot shed,
A living ghost among the dead.

So watch him close, as colors blend,
And see the story without end.
The tears of a clown, a bitter rain,
Washing away the joy and gain.

Hey Ho Does An Octopus Know POTD

hey ho
does an octopus know
how to juggle with eight cups and saucers
and the fish watching him
while the elephants swim
then he juggles with a turtle and tortoise

then ho hey
does the octopus say
I can do this all day round in circles
but an ache in my arm 
in my arm, in my arm 
and so on through all eight tentacles

so hey ho
let the octopus go
to bed nice and early with honey
to rest and recline
for a considerable time
so he doesn’t feel worn out and funny

ho hey
and a new octopus day
refreshed and all ready to juggle
so with cups and with saucers
a turtle and tortoise
but the elephant’s splash makes him struggle

hey hey
that’s not fair that’s not fair
so the octopus went somewhere quieter
where he practised a lot
and a lot more than not
and so now he’s a pro entertainer

a jabber jack wordsmith

job
wordsmith
a jabber jack
juggles juicy jargon
jagged

Dramatic Verse--Lampoon

Once again, he dresses himself with flour-puffed face,neck ruffles and oversized shoes ,
all this fanfare for kids wiggling Barney  Bailey shrieks : 
He juggles coins,  flashes a silly mime while blistered thoughts knead in the circus of a mind:
his son lost lying in a bed of snuffed dreams exiting from the ghastly night while clouds dim beneath the marquee...

Giggles flood the rows where laughter drowns a sea of guffaws; a moment when life becomes a lampoon  a farce
an illusion :
No one knows the polka dot tears which press inside a clown's leaking heart
as he traces the wild grins of youngsters seeking his presence ,

youngsters like his own lifeless child--
own child he did not watch go the light...
his false laughter turns into silent howls 
imploring just an intermission from
the stage.
But the show must go on where the absurdity of man is , once again , enacted.

Jen Juggles Her Man

A fast-paced, quick-thinking woman is Jen.
Gregarious and fun, she juggles her men
Tossed and tumbled, all three laugh about it.
Loving her the whole time, for she is a chit.

Happy-go-lucky, fun to be with for sure.
Her motives are good-natured, totally pure.
All think they have a chance, but none know.
She juggles six more beaus down in Buffalo.

Jay Woman Juggles Ocean Orbs

Blue faced Jay Woman is juggling ocean orbs unknown to man
She will plunk them into appropriate points in the sea of Dill
But for now, she is mixing them up as well as she possibly can
Inside the orbs are healing plants for the sharks, dolphins and krill.

Why does she care so much? The moon asks the stars who have insight.
Her mission is to add a glow of hope and optimism to the deep see below.
They stare at Jay Woman, the savior of the plankton and coral of the night.
Where else she travels, we truly are not privy to, so we do not know.

Biden's Book Has Roses and Shame

Biden's Book Has Roses And Shame

Joe
Biden
And his son
Hunter mayhem
Puts dark clouds to rain
On his father's parade
Where Joe is prim and proper
His son a clown on a tightwire
As Joe took office his son teetered 
And
Bounce here
And bounce there
Into the arms
And father's shamed lap
Hunter's soiled laundry hangs  
There's a tax probe, gun charges
In an attempt to cover-up 
How Joe juggles this act makes one shame

Magic In the Sky

His is a canvas of white open sky
A stroke of his brush, and the magic begins
A shade of blue with a tiny red dot
Worn on the forehead like a forget me not! 
Growing into an orange ball rising up
He juggles the sun and the morning dew
As I doze in the first rays of dancing sunlight
Twisting till he opens my curtained sight! 
A stroke of silver as lightening flashed
Shattering my reverie, as it bypassed
From out of the blue a changing hue
He bent my gaze, of course 
He has the ability to do that too! 
This kaleidoscopic painter
Shaping colours on a canvas sky
Requesting my total attention
Hypnotizing me as I look upward 
in his direction! 
Bursting out, arched like a bow
As he keeps pulling out a rainbow
from his funny cloud shaped hat
I put my hands together to applaud 
The greatest magician that ever was!

Coffee

in the northern night
under the nearly frozen palm trees
the furtive cat glimpsed something among the plants
now he's on a silent ambush
ready to feed on its careless prey
on the other side of this cold town
surely someone at the window
sees amazed that the wind juggles
with an empty supermarket bag
this night will also pass
and tomorrow morning
when i'm looking at the sun
shyly drying the lawn grass
I know the steam coming out of the coffee cup
it will fog up the lenses of my glasses.

The J Has It

Jingle Joy jealously judges Jolly Jump up 
Jolly judiciously jangles Jingle Joy’s jabs
Jalopy Jim jubilantly jiggles Jingle Joy’s jeep
Jolly Jump up juggles Jolly Jump Up’s jingle jangles
Jaundiced Jabberwocky jangles Jingle Joy’s jalopy.

Bouncy Balls

Bounce up, sun,
Golden hour's begun;
Bouncy, bouncy hot!
Bounce up, boy,
In childish joy.
Bounce your blue ball,
Against the green wall.
Bouncy, bouncy boy!
Bounce up, girl,
Teeth like a pearl,
Bounce red balloon,
Within the month of June;
Bouncy, bouncy balls!
Fun circus clown,
Juggles 'til sundown.
Happy, bouncy clown!
Bounce up, blue moon,
Night plays your tune;
Bouncy, blue moon!
Bounce up, Mars,
Among so many stars, 
Bouncy, bouncy balls!
Bounce, Milky Way,
Through space so gay,
Huge, bouncy ball!
Bounce, galactic cluster,
In beauty and luster,
Bouncy, bouncy balls!
Bounce up, black hole,
A diamond in your soul;
Bouncy, black hole!
Bounce up, nebula,
In your spectral aura-
Exotic, bouncy nebula!
Bounce up, multiverse,
Of countless universe-
Bouncy, bouncy balls!
Pretty balls!
Vivid balls!
Golden balls!
Red balls!
White balls!
Blue balls!
Black balls!
Delightful bouncy balls!

Love Acts of Music

The cello and I
we sustain
in each other
while we play
the melody
The violin caresses
my shoulder while
we execute the work
musical,
the double bass
squeezes
 my chest
when together
we are in ensemble ...

With the tambourine, my fingers
and my hands do
frenetic
juggles...
the drums helps me
to beat up my
evils ... and to frighten
my fears...
The harmonica consciously
kiss me, kiss
while we are
on stage...
But it's the fender guitar
that plays me inside
 in solo riffs that
inflates my soul
and makes me squirm
on wishes ...
evaporating my suffering,
all while
we fly high
 feeling alive in music  !

Bipolar Bear

Bipolar bear drifting upon the omega iceberg.
Surrounded by a sea of salty self-pity.
Old blood on your teeth.
Nothing left to lean upon.
Nothing left to eat.

On the shore, the pharmacist juggles pills of false hope.
The tooth walkers laughing at the folly.
The warming camouflage is dying.
All weaknesses have been exposed.

A pod of orca peri scoping for an opening.
Bashing edges of the ice bear's shrinking ledge.
Soon the kerplunk of depression...
Bipolar bear is dead.

Lovely

Lovely love lifts
Glimpse gracious gift


Joy juggles jest
Feel feisty fest


Make moments meet
Sense something sweet


Laugh lavish loud
Prize pretty proud


Hurl happy hope
See success scope


Craft clever chance
Taste thrilling trance


Draft dazzling dream
Spice succinct stream


Plot profound play
Slot sublime say


Dance dreamy deep
Lovely lines leap
