Short Charades Poems

Christmas comes but once a year
friends&family all draw near
Silly games& charades are played
pity me as nerves get frayed...

Charades is a game where one guesses
The favourite things that she blesses
A flower to see?
Simply pee on knee
And the hostess cleans up the messes?...

Morning rebirth.

Stirred by a dream.

Rendered my serenity.

For the soft requiem.

Defer our mortal fate.

For life awaits.

With all of its virtue.

And veiled charades....

A zoo is really the only safe place to fart
That's hilarious, stay tuned got more in my cart
Worst time for a heart attack
Is during a game of charades
You can have some real fun before you depart...

Worst time for a heart attack is playing Charades
Hope players don't think you're good at these escapades
Could mean certain death
Or at least extreme stress
Stress is preferred to death since the Crusades...

I played the auguste to Coco the clown.
    Acting charades, with a smile and a frown.
    Crowds clapping, and jeering,
    Loud laughter, then cheering,
    When tumbling over, my trousers  fell down.

Hiding green eyes with lace

Her presence fills the room

Hauntingly alluring,

Hypnotizing the night

Hearts blinded by deceit

Held captive in charades.

Worst time for a heart attack is while playing Charades
Just hope players don't think you're really good at these escapades
Could mean certain death
Or at least extreme stress
Stress is preferred to death since the Crusades...

That damn feeling which wakes you up early in the morning.

Dreadful dreams playing charades with my mind.

It is useless to know the future

if you cannot do anything about it.

Whether it is karma or a gift  I wish it was gone.

Sometimes....

Chutes and Ladders, Monopoly

Risk and Careers and
   How about Charades?
Scrabble and Password

   An Innocent Age 
Eating Hostess Twinkies
   And drinking Kool-Aid!...

Flimsy tissue paper bliss, 
gift wrapped wafer-thin
  promises midst kisses,
glued together with
    yesterday's adhesive, 
fallen as separate shrouds
   in wayward glances &
   capricious charades razing 
     death do us part illusions 
   of finale's papier-mâché knots...

I shut the door
And drew the blinds
Let the phone ring
Every time it rang
I couldn’t bear
To play charades
I needed time alone
With the darkness
Of my depths
Rebuilding strength
Thru the winter
Of my mourning

Sometimes, God plays Charades
And expects me to understand,
And I don’t.

But sometimes,
I get it!

(Or, do I?)

Is it pride that tells me that I understand?
Sometimes, I know I do…
But that’s not always!

Who gets it all the time, I wonder?
Probably a Saint!

Ah, well!...

 Nothing stays the same, fragrant flowers fade, 
cloaked in shame, am I to take the blame? 
when rainbows abandon colors,
twisting pristine purple into pale grey vapor. 
Masks eventually slip and cards of lies unfold~
reversed angels, orchestrating cruel charades.

My Black Is Beautiful
For it comes in All shades
Blowing up the spot like a
handful of grenades
Having Us to put off a show
like a peacock parades
To keep Our public guessing
as if to play charades
While hidden remains the part
that suffers and wades
Although the Courage, We have
to LOVE, never fades...

Let’s play charades!
No. Tic tac toe.
No Pictionary!
Okay, time for Cranium Cadoo.

A game that combines logic,
Chardes
Tic tac toe
and Pictionary!

New argument.
I want to be green!
No. I  am green.
I am always green.

The babysitter gives up.
Not realizing when Mom is here 
she is always green...

COPPICE   WOODS.

Wasted in coppice woods
Drained in chiselled anguish
Gods of the elfins to sell
Sunshine in closed circuits.

Charades in preparation
For the promised future
Dazzled by forest fires
In some teaked nurtures.

Filtered sunshine
Turning orange in streets
Shredded to the pieces
By jaguar’s sharp canine teeth....

Christmas.
Holly, ivy,
Fur tree and candy canes.
Lashings of gravy, turkey crown,
Baked sticky pudding, helpings of mince pies.
Crackers, charades, family fun,
Candlelit mass, carols.
Joyful smiles this…
Christmas.

Listen to poem:

masquerading under moonlight
a litany of muffled love disguised
dares not reach the heart it seeks

honorbound the laden breeze
is forced to find its way
to kiss the beloved's cheek
before a single tear has fallen

We've all been invited to the masquerade ball
where everyone's frowning underneath it all
the elites are still getting paid
for playing pinball with our minds
and charades with our lives
such a heavy price that they'll pay-

The unveiling will commence 
when the kings grow tired of the game
demanding the mice to nibble off their masks
back into the froth of their mundane-...

Jetting out first as many cascades,
Addictive in a calendar of twelve,
New Year’s Day known in charades,
Unknown factions continue to delve.
Again and again it shapes natures tune.
Reveling waterfalls rouse in faded moon.
Yet without, life would have no commune.

Life ain't no serial streaming series
where the plucky gender-neutral heroes
defeat some XAnon false faced Ulysses.

Sigh, but it's not that way in the 'real' world
it’s a sum game which adds up the zeros
needles knitting with odd stitches unpurled.

While we play parts in bright shadow charades
leaders fiddle like modern day Neros
as the light of long-lost dreams slowly fades....
