Long Entendres Poems

Galore of buzzfeeding, needling and scamming female hustlers...

with a scheming, loving, and enticing guise
alive and well seeking gullible guys
(once upon a time just like me),
who experiences close encounters
of masterly baited entrapment
on Facebook Messenger
and most likely...

Clyde Lied!
by Michael R. Burch

who bragged of his prowess, but lied.

the be-all
and the end-all –
the cadence supersedes, mellifluous.
Counting syllables, as superfluous
as the vowels
contained in
the word
queue.
Sounds
in chants

Rhythm takes precedence, despite your leaning.
And forced rhymes jar:

Bitter injustice, magnified ten times;
Shrouded deceptions, choreographed, in mindless delight.
Racheted vanities like destiny's climbs;
Nuances of regrets in the abyss of the night.

Double entendres of the dark phase of the moon,
Beckoning fingers of love's innocent couplets.
Of...

Ashes adrift in cold breezy whispers 
Mesmerized Monday finally seen 

So I sat here/there fingers achingly tapless over blurred keys. 
Wetly wondering in salted moving air... 
Clouds huddle together crowding for position- 
avoiding the ever...

The dawn makes fools of us all.
It fills us half full like open barrel drums
left out in the rain. There's no excuse,
except to say: we stand
among crystalline mist, the yawning light
teasing us to immortality. We...

You know, I've seen parts of you that I'll never see again, Like graffiti on a train.

Fleeting and mysterious entendres of myself embedded in you make it so hard for me to love them.
