He is a caricature of his Dad
A faker, imposter, jester, and cartoon
Some say he’s a scoundrel, some kind of cad.
His reputation depicts a buffoon.

Cupid’s portrayed wearing wings
No angel shoots through the heart
Little devil causes pain
Should have horns and tail

people tell me they paint
their work is the work of a fine artist
they have teeny tiny strokes
I keep quiet about my own art
I am a folk artist
I feel faux now
a fake
unreal
an imposter

He was deceiver, cheater, bluffer, imposter at best
A beguiler, charlatan, pettifogger, you know the rest…
All of our family fortune is now wiped out, gone.
Due to this sleazy grifter, Mr. Lee Wron.

Did someone ever promise you the moon?
You believed him on that starlit night in June.
Fate intervened, and it came to a painful end.
Love’s just a temporary imposter, and gone like the wind.

She presented all goodness and kind
Reveled in the ridiculous and sublime.
A sanguine disposition, purification of light
And ever so softly with a smile of delight,
She would step on you gently with all of her might……

What's with this imposter Donald Trump?
For president I'd much prefer Forrest Gump!
His ramblin' views I find difficult to perceive.
Methinks he hides precarious tricks up his sleeve!

Time like water recasts a face;
An imposter looks from my place.
Who I once was I know him not,
But not because I have forgot.
For certainly, could he foresee,
I fear that he would not know me.

One word after another type paralysed;
With his words my heart he prized.
Broken with dazed disbelief,
From this bandit, standard thief.
How can one begin to foster-
A condescending crock, imposter?
In the beginning he was never cruel,
Now the end I'm such a dunce.

behold i’m a troll
being an imposter my goal
besides i’ve no role
behind these screens rots my soul
beating back into my hole
Dedicated to the coward/s that tried
to sabotage Edward Ibeh’s ‘(this or
that) contest.

He rode a twisted trail,
He lied a tortured, fact-faked tale
Of Jesse James and unexpected shames
Of Quantrill’s carnage, powder-smoke and flames.
He wasn’t who he said—
He wasn’t Jesse James, long dead
But something gaudier and grander yet
Imposter-champion none can forget.

Verse
Persuaded by a gypsy imposter to have my Tarot read
There were two cards missing from her Tarot deck
She hadn't figured out which ones yet
Didn't seem to be important
Mentioning it was all bull anyway
Although there was one event in my future
she was sure of
I was still going to have to pay.

Dear Sister, this is for you, again you win
Artist of the year, and sexiest friend
Such an adorable person, so I rate you a ten
Tony is an imposter; I’m your real kin
See the doctor loathe me because I had muscles of men
But anyway, tell the mama I’ll never see again
“Thank you Katherine for conceiving… me sister Bren”

i caught your eyes on me. dont bother to look away. ive already noticed. i wish i was
brave enough to stare back. it doesnt bother me, just makes me curious. what are you
thinking? or are you just observing? try to figure me out. but you wont. because youve
only met the imposter. you havent stopped to look into my eyes.

Tick.
Rattling in my brain,
Tick.
I—
Tick.
Tick.
Can’t imagine you’re pain,
I too—
Tick.
Tick!
Once felt that way,
Did you ever—
Tick!
Tick!
Try those breathing exercises?
I heard they—
TICK.
Gasp!
TICK.
Stop panic attacks on the horizon,
No well—
TICK.
GASP.
TICK TICK TICK TICK!
Maybe you’re faking it.

My Notes: You May find it difficult to understand the situation in this poem, so did I, but not in the reading. I’m a hack Poet at best, which is why I didn’t submit it in the contest about rising above reality. When I finish the short story on the events this poem is based it will be come apparent, and like me you will say; “WHAT?” .

Through the glass, your body stills.
What life was there - isn't.
Drained,
Unfair.
You can't see me, but I can see you.
Meat.
The pain in my temples kills.
Dead eyes,
Cloudy.
Wake up, wake up.
I think I'm going deaf.
Waves wash over skin,
Turning it grey and speckled.
Imposter,
Red and sharp.
I can't pin this feeling down.

A lot of talk goes around,
All about this or that.
And is only the sound,
Of bold talk n smack.
Politicians confound,
Wear imposter hats.
Flared tensions abound.
Subvert the facts.
Chicago's burning down.
Pour on more gas.
Discord Surrounds.
Raising the tax.
A lot of talk goes around,
All about this or that.
And is only the sound,
Of more talking smack.

Sometimes that mimetolith is a fraud
Torturing on the murky face of you
I understate it so feels worthy
By my blood taking the plunge worthy
In the name of love I execute the fraud
A little bit pretentious just for you
I do paralyzing and took you
Sacrilege of fires and worthy
Is it natural love and how much is fraud?
I have always done fraud, you are so worthy

In hot August I’ll make my departure,
the trembling freshman imposter,
to dance with unknown partners,
in our quests to join the rosters
of future scholars and doctors.
Like Columbus I’ll journey not knowing
exactly where I am going -
and like our brave-foolish captain I’m hoping
that the planned years of furious rowing,
will deliver me to where (I think) I am going.

Again
Again...
I feel no arousal
Nor in love
Nor hate
Again...
I permit his feast
upon my flesh
But why?
Again...
I verbally proclaim “no”
My feeble attempts
elicit surrender
Again...
I harbor the regret
Burden of shame
Priciest weight
Again...
I camouflage my sin
Playing an imposter
Doting wife
Again...
I declare to cease
Like an addict,
I lie

I do not know?
I’m invisible to you.
I’m invisible to everyone
I’m here but I’m not
People see me but they don’t
They know me but they don’t
I am not what I seem but
You nor anybody else knows that
I am invisible
What you see is not me
I am invisible
What you see is an imposter
Costumed up for your own importance
Who I am is invisible to everyone
But you don’t care
I am invisible
