Judas

Leather hide-wild eye
What should I do
Blackened mind
Borrowed time
Trading pieces 
Of myself 
For thirty silver coins


The Claimant

When you love someone,
you claim part of their spirit

Trading affection
—as the emptiness fills

(Dreamsleep: July, 2019)

Megalomanics keep waging war
With greed for power, leaving scar
Monarchs of ruin on thrones of dust
Trading the world for might and lust

Trump knew the Stock Market would crash
For people are prone to act rash
A tariff war threat
With Suspension set
Will earn the Trumps mountains of cash

Staring Death Down

Here I am
having stared down death
listening
to this purile crap
trapped by nosy neighbours
trading inanities
without a thought
to my recent survival
of a massive heartattack.

Trading Candy For a Kiss

Little hearts created
Cute words on them
Be Mine
Only 4 U
Me and You
Kiss Me
Cards created
Poems written
Flowers given
Will you be
My Valentine

All given
For just
One Kiss

Premium Member We See Different Things

I look at the prizes
seeing Walmart
Seeing Oriental Trading
Seeing the Dollar store

The children look at the prizes
thinking beauty
thinking razzle dazzle
thinking they have won the lottery

Premium Member Polar Paragons

It seems to me society’s too keen
on variety, trading spouses
in on other ones.  They could, at
least, do as penguins do. . . share
in offspring’s rearing till
their task is done, and
only then. . . start
again with
someone
new!

Premium Member choosing nature

I sit in the sun
vitamin D massages my bones
I feel healthy
loving the warmth outside my cave

trading dungeon-qualities for lightness
away from technology of TV or computers
my cell phone inside, on silent
choosing nature over stress
sun

The Garden Trader

The Honeybees all gather...
Without an estimate--or chart--
And peruse the garden gracefully,
And give the rose its start.

And exchanging their sweet nectar--
As a rare commodity--
Trade stocks of yellow orchards--
Absent any trading fee!

Forex Trading

Me doing the Wall Street
Different currencies I buy and I sell;
During one evening or morning
Without any crying and moaning...
I loose/win some money;
Sarcastically laughing or breaking in smiles…
Because I was stupid or smart - You decide.

A Mirror

Looking into my face,
  I see my father’s eyes

Staring back with contempt,
  through a thousand why’s

Looking into those eyes,
  trading fear for pain

My birthright rejected
  —paternity’s shame

Trading Shoes

Smugness had finally reached its fruition
as unfairly she would jump to conclusions
folks down on their luck would leave her amused
saying this is the unfortunate path that they choose
till one day she got to walk a mile in their shoes

Trading My Forgots

What if you see yourself die as you die
would you watch
above
below
within
without
Disturbaphobia
Whats the slang for slang
auld languages sign
peapod casts
Never seen the slap
just the darkness shiver in your smile
as you broke another day

Jellybeans

Sweet or sour, My dear jellybean
Can’t I be with you as in my teen
Red,green,blue,yellow,so many colors 
Apple,orange,pineapple,so many flavors 
With one rupee getting many
Eating everything lonely
Trading with friends 
And now it all went to end

International Limerick Day

Limericks be flyin' this fine St. Paddy's day
Trading of barbs is welcomed and quite okay

There once a man from County Kerry
Who was all sorts of drunk and pretty merry
He put on a wig
and danced a fun jig
Til he got picked up by a fellow named Jerry

Trail of Tears

Raven tears left on the right side of the bed
Sold a soul, gotten close enough once before
Hate to love the man I call my man
Dreaming dirty dreams during my daydreams 
Walking away from the power piercing pressure
A traitor, trading in a new trail of tears

Depreciating the Young

Grammar school speculators
charlatan math
trading the currency
of borrowed youth
optioning the investment
in forsaken dreams
hedging their futures
with diminished returns
margining interest
—that will never compound

(Radnor School Board: February, 2021)
