Premium Member Earning Trust

her eyes reached out to me for help
I shuffled the others away
and swiftly sneaked back to make sure she knew
I had her back


Premium Member Aces High

The cards have been shuffled
And the deck is cut
The game of life begins
Lady luck will do her strut
but only destiny will win

Turkey Show

The turkey had put on a show
When it was his time to go
He shuffled and strut
Even shook his feathery butt
Then made a run for the door

Joy

Just as a ton of  sorrows bent my weary back--

Over the mountain the sun struck the water--

You smiled and shuffled down the dusty track.

The Pool and the Fool

THERE WERE ICE CHUNKS IN THE POOL
THIS POOR MAN SHUFFLED LIKE A FOOL
WHEN HE JUMPED IN AND SANK
HIS SKIN TURNED LIKE PINK
PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WAS JUST PLAYING COOL

The Pool and the Fool

There were ice chunks in the pool
While the poor man shuffled like a fool
When he jumped in and sank
His skin turned light pink
People thought, he was just playing cool

Abused

Pilfered a verse from a tricky muse
Each stanza with riddles he did infuse
Perplexed, I shuffled each line 
Fusing the metric spine  
Confused, my remaining wits did loose

Premium Member Poor Frowzy

My paper dog caught a cold and snuffled, 
and, sad to say, his bark was muffled. 
Frowzy's life was very hard - 
made from a ribbon and some cards
that weren't completely shuffled.

Love - Unspoken

Through the cruel Curbing 
And a heavy Hesitation.,
I never got to arranged ,
Those Shuffled Words,
To justify..,
Never let it out ,
beneath my breath., 
For you my dear,
My Love Unspoken.

Do You Hear What I Hear, Question Mark

The carol singers at my door,
I greeted them with tone deaf song,
My hand outstretched, they shuffled off:
I didn’t get a quid – what’s wrong?

Do you hear what I hear? For Kim’s Carolling contest

Premium Member Fault Lines of a Life

We drift, unaware—
years merge into moments,
promises fall by the wayside, collect dust.

If we could backtrack every decision,
each fault line of our days,
would we discover we really lived
or just shuffled in place?

Premium Member O Deck O Life

o deck o life
shuffled
cut 
and dealt

every second 
every day
every moment 
of eternity

iI hold  my hands
play 
my cards
and move on 

shuffle 
cut
deal 
play
and move on 

and try to keep 
a poker face

Sleep Walking

I got out of bed
I wore my fuzzy gown
Because I sleep naked
Walked to the door
Opened the door for them
Groaned at them
I shuffled back to my room
Closed my bedroom door
Removed my gown
Got back in bed
And continued...

In Love In the Hammock

Entwined in the hammock
          shuffled hands and feet
          as threads...
          Gathered, seized
          to our feelings...
          We induce in our hearts
          the beat
          of the love that
          unites us... !

Ante Up For Love

Ante Up For Love

Love is a gamble, the players facing unfavourable odds. 
Still you risk that which you can't afford to lose. 
Never able to explain or recover the loss.
The cards have been shuffled 
and ready to be dealt. 
Are you in? Ante up!

Premium Member Meeting Her Daddy

I have the absolutely worst intentions sir,
This is why I am taking your daughter out.
I will do the most horrible things to her.
You will not recognize her when I am finished.
The father glared as the young man shuffled in
to say “hello” for the first time.

Premium Member 5 Card Stud Keeper

Listen to poem:
5 Card Stud keeper
David J Walker

All of my yesterdays have been
Shuffled back into the deck
As I draw from tomorrows cards
To play against today

Can I keep a poker face
Drawing 3 for 5 card stud
Is this hand my keeper 
Playing against the grim reaper

Premium Member A Red Lollipop

A fading red lollipop
  shuffled slowly up to me

Told me kids now avoid him
  ‘cos he’s not nutritious, you see  

I whispered something in his ear
   with which he seemed to agree

Tell ‘em you’re packed with Vitamin S & C
   I said ~ (You know, for Sweet Candy)

Banshee

Red embers of floating sins
Shuffled tectonic plates beneath like a leaf on a spin
Stark raiment query to the forewarning
Numb to the smoke when purloined hubris as second skin
Nefarious stipulation with life's pregnant mysteries, than drama visible on tube, will roost the din

Solitaire

Deck in my hand any day
Hey hon, lets play 31 I say
not now, not my thing, not today, I'm busy
solitaire is all I see

Another deck shuffled faraway
alone, 31 is the game they play
learns how, keeps playing, hours fade away,  made her school girl giddy
solitaire is all I see

Premium Member The Greatest Circus Clown

He shuffled in.  He wore a frown.
This lone stranger was new in town, 
but his teeth were straight, and his aim was true, 
and he had a hole in his head that birds went through,
and I would put all my money down,
that, everywhere, the world around,
he'll be the greatest circus clown.

Wrong Breakfast

You scrambled my heart as if it were a three egg omelet
 Breaking the shell of my soul till it crumbled
 I am trying so hard just to forget
 My inner self tumbled, bumbled 

I felt shuffled
 I feel ruffled
 
I would rather forget
 If our times you regret
 
My love muffled
 My emotions coupled

Prevarication

Prevarication

You did not confirm, 
neither, did you deny. 
You avoided, shuffled, shifted ... 
moving away from my question.
You are a master 
of prevarication, 
disinformation, 
intellectual slight-of-hand.
You did not answer my question ... 
but, in your silence, 
you did.
