Short Baiting Poems

One hundred and three priors
race baiting the norm?
the poster child for prison reform?

Once, I felt like a hole in a river;
Now, I’m floating on waves from the Giver.
A silly fish, I won’t be—
Breaking my bowl to be free:-
Baiting girl—I’ll just swim and ignore her....

Baiting 
a feeling

Passion 
is tracked

Luring
the moment

Setting
the trap

Eyes
look upon you

Cage
set on fire

Death
in the ashes

Preying
— desire

Not interested in sharing
I am self-centered
Not interested in fighting
I only want what is mine
Not interested in pretending
I like my face
Not interested in baiting
I don’t want to fall in
Not playing game
I am tired, ha
I just want to play...

Swimming in sarcastic seas

This is the hook,
that line I dangle out there
to catch your attention,
to tempt your appetite,
to reel you in like a poetic lure,
baiting you to read
as you swim about the site…

so where are all of the little fishies?...

I sit here alone
I feel nothing
I feel everything
I sit here alone
Am I obsessed?
Or maybe possessed
I sit here alone
Patiently waiting
His heart, I try baiting
I sit here alone
Thoughts of him
Ruled by a whim
I sit here alone
Am I just a toy
To amuse, or bring joy
I sit here alone
Full of heartache
I can't shake...

Glossy apple
Rotted core
Rockwell zipcode
Buckling floor
Family strife
Broken wife
 
Life's plan
Weary sorrow
Bad today
Worse tomorrow
Turn away
Slow decay
 
Play cool
Guiding friends
Thrown away
Quickly ends
One tried
One denied
 
Cried dry
Badly burned
Sour hurting
Truth learned
Love baiting
Left waiting...

While softly shining over head at midnight,
twinkling down her golden beams of light
on those below in attune.
Lovers gaze and swoon
at mellow
moon
of yellow
gently lighting June.
This glowing orb hums her tune,
baiting passions tempting with delight
while softly shining over head at midnight.

A silent scream
A dream
Shattered
Battered
Splattered
Across the
Pavement.
Enslavement
To the heart
Broken in two
Broken anew
As I wander
Through the fog
Invisible
Unseen
Unclean
In this 
Dirty
World.
Curled
Up in a ball
Standing small
Waiting
Baiting
The final 
Destruction
Obstruction
To my happy
Destiny

I feel empty...

Motion of the Oceans create Nations
Waiting baiting rotating slowly in Time
Check to see Notations mentioned sending
Write riddles of rhyme bending mending
Energies that flight seas changing Mind
Sounds abound in silent commotion roam
Whispering Worlds exposing notions of
Peace believers be and come around in
Soothing life and giving sounds....

it's teeth
some jaw around 
my head, biting
baiting an air beast
wintering wind
anaconda squeeze
of miserly monsters
that I'm dragging
as I walk and wings
whose tips stipple 
cheeks, reddening
through slow-mo
torture but somehow
that winter stroll
hidden critters galore 
is a glorious break
beckoning staleness
from stolid afternoons...

Winds are changing,
So are trees.
Love is leaving,
How ‘bout me?

Branches broken,
Tossed are we.
Hearts aren’t woven,
Love’s not free.

Clouds are shifting,
So’s the breeze.
Love is leaving,
How ‘bout me?

Snow is waiting,
Cold are we.
Future’s baiting,
Save not me.

Winds are changing,
So are trees.
Love is leaving,
How ‘bout me?...

If it's lonely at the top then I'm afraid of heights.
That's two birds with one stone which I've thrown with contrite. 
For they weren't in a bush nor in hands, see they flew;
Early birds with worms, baiting stones through and through.
Don't want to be a bird of passage nor like the likes you,
But that's like living off the land while above a bird's eye view....

Ether’s 88 where ya going 
Behind her locked gate 
Caught shy my freedoms 
My baiting the idioms 
My came from extensions...
Is it ever too late?
Going easy with tumbleweed
Boarding space beyond dreams 
Rejecting all cultural greed’s
And creeds the world bleeds...
Is it ever about beauty creams?
Vapour your gate
It’s never too late
Open your mind
Be kind
Tumble me
Shine!...

Are you laughing at me? 
I can feel your snicker;
Look at me and say it,
but you are not that brave;
Baiting you I admit;

Are you laughing at me? 
I’m already fed up;
You really shouldn’t taunt
more than you bargained for;
I’ll give you what you want;

Are you laughing at me?
Took a second and thought:
Rude is anger’s foreplay;
Not buying into it,
I will just walk away....

Following faults that can run deep,
you end up questioning yourself.
Sometimes, when one can't fall asleep,
one starts analyzing oneself.
Probing intent,
and discontent.

My active mind won't let me sleep,
asking what-ifs, baiting myself
But, I can't equate counting sheep
to this introspection of self.
I'm resting some,
but sleep won't come.

I am here now,
Still awaiting…
Every moment,
Hope abating…

Are you there, love?
Still debating?
Yet, I hold on,
Still awaiting…

Any day now,
Still awaiting…
Heart is yearning,
Palpating…

Do you yearn too?
What’s frustrating?
Never mind I’m,
Still awaiting…

Losing patience,
Still awaiting…
Where are Cupids’
Arrows baiting?

Hurry darling,
No placating!
For too soon I,
Won’t be waiting…

Silenced Voice

My silenced voice,

Snuffed of noise,

Words gone far,

Hidden behind the bar

 

Thinking of my next move,

Of when next to move,

Watching and waiting,

For a life of baiting

 

I stand and wonder,

With all words set asunder,

Of the happenings around,

The evils that do abound

 

My cries were rejected,

Mine complaints rejected,

Do you see what's happening?

- Life's a sword that needs sharpening-...

Penny pincher,
Sleeps on the edge of time,
Dreams of ancient civilisations,
How old is he,
How old is he,
He thought someone in the modern world loved him the other day,
No she's baiting me,
They'll kill me for sure,
Where are his people,
Where are his people,
Why do they treat him so bad,
The modern ones,
He calls it another damned day,
When he wakes up,
Alone and the alcohol isn't strong enough anymore,
How poor,
How poor....

I’m tired of baiting
  and tired of hating

I’m tired of winning
  in a rained out inning

I’m tired of loving
  when love’s not returned

I’m tired of crying
  tears poisoned and spurned

I’m tired of reasons
  excuses for treason

I’m tired of answers
  to questions now censored

I’m tired of forgiving
  the past repeating again

But I’m most tired of wishing
  —as hope turns to pain

Life is good but unpredecteble
You never now what will happened tomorrow
Life is not always dasame
Good things happened to good people
Good things came to people who deserve it
 
Why are we always fight our own people
Why are we baiting our brothers and sister's
Why are we not live in peace
 
Let rice up and say xenophobia must fall
Let change our life's
Let love our self  
Let change our nation
Let unit and say out loud #xenophobia must fall...
