What is Fat Tuesday?
To disgorge your wicked ways, 
be impish and play....

A devilish ghoul
Receives an impish feeling
Downtrodden evil

Wood nymphs flittering;
All faerie wood emblazon;
Day lends length to night,
Impish pumpkins flicker winks;
As cats creep shadowed black....

An impish doppelganger, Bea
liked nothing more than to run free
	strange feelings she shook
        turned around to look.
It unsurprisingly was she!...

  impish impulses
  sweep over me
  one more preposterous
  than the next

  I think I’ll take 
  the plunge and see
  if I can act on them 
  without context

An impish chow chow-chihuahua mix
is again up to his old nasty tricks
Orange fluffy and small
people think it’s a doll
Then he’ll yap-yap-yap-yap just for kicks

Air
Billows
Crisp coiled curves
Dawn dances on
Earth

Fun
Gusts gain
Human halts
In impish ilke
Jests

One 
proud and 
stoic glance 
astride wry smirks
from this Mona Lisa spitting image 
tutor at the blackboard chalk mark  debris 
caused by spurts of 
 bold impish 
birthday 
warmth...

Rude people who think only of themselves -
I would like to sit atop mantle shelves
Yes, I know that is wrong
but it's where they belong
when they act like those impish little elves...

The noble lady was full of ire.
The drunk knight had pissed out her camp fire.
So now she sought warmth by his horse,
and there, had heated intercourse
with the knight's impish, big-bellied squire.

Phantom ceiling squeaks
impish night owl’s egg and spoon 
race cancelled by ghost
thunder rolls startle 
mischievous sprites in a trance.
spine-tingling plot now unfolds at lightening speed
Milky Way spins an oafish chuckle....

Eyes gleam onyx-black, white silky hair gently flows
Pampered with kisses, hugs and chic bows
It's Suzanne's impish Maltese
The first lap dog, from Old Greece
Sparking heart-rending love which glows, spreads and grows

With what emotion
does she peer with wide green eyes
as her two hands cup her face?

Behind those hands with
nails painted a vivid red,
she conceals an impish grin!

 equinox arrives
 as amber hues, crimson shades
 adorn maple trees

 oaks release acorns 
 which are strewn across the ground
  squirrels sweet treasure

 harvest moon aglow
 as pumpkins with impish grins
 carve out halloween...

                     Freezing wintertime
                     A wee red impish kitten
                     Asleep in a warm box

Pain departed a sacred portion of human flash.
A devout detortion and flamboyant living dash.
Flagrant flaunt impregnate impish liege slash.
Slanderous sleave and pitiable pithecanthrope,
Pishogue sagacious mistranslated pish a girl rash....

 Flickering amber
Appealing to my senses
Nostalgia dances, impish
Whispering compassion
Firelight winking whimsical warmth

She had an adorable cheekiness
Impish mannerisms, coquettish way
There was a fresh earnestness about her
She was not a rogue, but close
Loveable as a three-month-old puppy
With ginger hair instead of fur
And those large chocolate puppy-dog eyes...

Limericks by definition are supposed to be naughty
Will try to be more sophisticated and not so bawdy
Not promising success
An impish mind I possess
Have a feeling they'll still be more than a wee bit saucy

As candy comes at Christmas
snelled droppings fall for shatter
And crystals form their flavor
for wishes marked with latter

That all good boys and girls
are hemped up for the chatter
When all good parents who've gathered
are impish for the matter...

Not fully sixteen
Her vision limited
By the steps she takes
With a bouncing gait
And an impish smile
That could only be found
On one so young
The world is so very new
With all its troubles
And problems so far ahead
It has not found her
Quite yet...

Ahhhh the stupidity
of man and his cupidity
and true most admittedly
we use quiet befittingly
yes this is written for gimmickry
like a lot of my work characteristicly
being impish in its equanimity
leaves me most optimistically
questioning its readability...

Joy rhythm, innate aliveness
We’re here, so enjoy life
In joyous, impish, playfulness
Suffused with God’s love rife

Hermit, sound the bugle
March forth on the double
Laughing when we tumble

See! No chasm
Joy rhythm
