Short Hexed Poems

Hexed; perplexed- I find myself so very vexed!
We all avoid or evade the Truth
Death has bellowed, and I am next-
I mourn and miss my loss of Youth......

We edit our text and make cuts
To avoid the mantra word-klutz
What's publishing next
Are my lines badly hexed 
Here on poetry soup to nuts

Dear Plumbing I am extremely vexed.
I never know where you will burst next.
I took a nice bath,
And incurred your wrath.
Why you won't turn off has me perplexed.

Remember When We Had Been Hexed

Remembered when we had been hexed,
While we wondered what would be next,
To compare,
With care,
Then we did find out after reading text.

I really hate predictive text
It makes me think my phone’s been hexed
Try to type in a word
The suggestion’s absurd!
It’s annoying, I’m pretty vexed

A witch addicted to texting
Sent all her curses by “hexting.”
On Halloween night
She "hexed" a spell to cause fright  
In a swirl of spirit quite vexing....

I guess that everything's been said
now there's a void inside my head
the words that flowed so freely
now seem trite and touchy-feely

I've somehow misplaced my muse
my right-brain's blown a fuse
my gift is hexed, a curse
I can't even finish this verse....

Next And Hexed and Perplexed

By Trump we all have been hexed,
Now people extremely perplexed;
Poor speaker;
Lousy leaker;
No telling what he will say next.

There must be someone out there
who has a sense of humor.

Wicked Witches vicious Wishes
Worst of Curses Hexed
Paranormal Victim Witness
Poltergeist are Vexed
Rows of Sixes Superstitious
Sacred Scrolls and text
I see dishes fly malicious
And She is surely next.
Sold Her Soul and burnt the Bridges-
The Devils love Her Best!

I may have grown tired
     but my lungs have opened wide
Never to be so inspired
     as when we shut the divide

Now universally singing verses to be heard
voices chorusing uniformly wringing through the urn
which formed splits and fissures through my nervous cord
hexed cortex adorned with loose tissue and enormous horns
looming viciously against my dreams

     I am reborn...

Witches fly broomsticks

Avoid the stake

Passionate

Simply 

Hexed


Thrown into water

Float as a crone 

Buoyant life 

Wisdom’s

Truth


Submerged by decree

No hard feelings

Posthumous

Excused

Wrongs


Self-righteous rulers

Concealed drowning

Ignorance

Exposed

Lies

What say
All they?

TM MT
Similarity?
Yes, maybe
Harsh? Reality?

What say
All they?
The Anti-stay
Got their way

Leavers perplexed?!
Remain vexed!?
GB soon Brexed!!
Economy hexed??

What say
All they?
About rights, fair play,
Trading, minimum pay?


Social Justice…
Can we trust this?
Or hidden ‘Rightists’
Just like ‘Thatcherists’?...

Deafened by the rings
Of the venomous songs the machine sings
So vapid it begins vex me
I'm thinking they might have hexed me

Slash the veil and what do you see
A red pool filled to the brim with death and depravity
Masqueraded with a pink drape of love
Hiding the blackened steel that crushed the dove

They are evil 
Warping your mind 
Turning you into their kind
Lost and Lustful
Awiting their fall...

Born under a bad sign,
verses time recalled
harder luck and trouble,
 moments trapped and stalled

Born under a bad sign,
rock of ages sold
answers stay unquestioned,
bells no longer toll

Born under a bad sign,
darkness settles in
rumors take the place of truth,
wages buying sin

Born under a bad sign,
desperate to belong
days belay what lies conscript,
wordless—heartless—gone

Next
by PoetPrentice

Anxiously waiting 
With the patience of Job
Year after year
Every turn of the globe
I wait to be next
Feeling gladsome
Next to be able to say 
The time has come
So many before me
So many to come
Marching the same beat
But to a different drum
As long as it takes
I’ll wait to be next
Though at times it seems
My efforts be vexed
I’m somewhat perplexed
But not hexed 
Just... 
Waiting to be next.

Here I set in a parlor reading a book,
gotta keep my face down, don't wanna look.
 It's all women and girls in here except for me,
I'm waiting for my mom to get done you see.
 They all keep telling me go ahead your next,
oh I feel like my world has now been hexed.
 I can hear what these girls will be saying in the classroom,
tomorrow when school's goin, I'm skipping, not facing the doom!
 For the now I'll set here and read a book,
back in the corner of this girl filled Parlor's nook!...
