King of Spades

wannabe king smiles
bluffing bold with empty hand
yet in one last move,
he plays the lone trump he holds ~
mighty king of spades, pyrite

Charlie, the Tuna

There once was an unusual tuna
Charlie dreamed of sailing to the luna
   Bought a huge water balloon
   But along came a typhoon
Farewell Charlie, wannabe Kahuna

4am Thoughts

amused I am
by the sieve 
of a mid-city wannabe drunk
through which but a single
narcissistic gutter-rat apparition
can pass --

Confession of a Poetic Wannabe

Everything around me
Turns into poetry--
But badly written.
My brain foams
Like it was bitten
By a rabid dog
Or like an angry mob
That doesn’t know what it’s ranting about.

Untouched

fire spreads quickly
animals scurry to safety
red rose untouched

The Wannabe

I hear the scream in every thought of every life on our world Which is tearing its self appart Few will hold it together so around by eachother we’re twirled And I can’t stop it breaking my heart

The Sneaky Ninja Wannabe

There once was a ninja named Dwight
who sneaked in my bedroom one night.
Bumping into my bed,
when he saw me, he said,
"I'd do better in here with some light!"

Poetic Justice

POETIC JUSTICE

There was an old man from Fontaine
Who walked with aid of a cane
One night he was mugged
By a wannabe thug
In the graveyard, the thug was lain

the person I want to be

                      the person I want to be 

  is certainly not to become ~ some idealistic wannabe 

  but definitely one ~ that pursues a legitimate fantasy 

  hinted a ventriloquist to his puppet ~ lost in soliloquy

My Gaze Wonders

I gaze into my sons' lives
  and see myself
One's a fitness trainer
  So was I at his stage
One's a finance man
  Ditto for me at 24
One's a soldier
  Now that's what I
  secretly yearned to be
My youngest son 
  is the 'real me' ~
  tho' he's no forever

Emilia

Short, but full of lies
Your hate lies in those emerald eyes
That hateful glance
Wannabe stance
If you're a hater
Why do you wanna be her
Stole her friends
Wanted her relationship to end
She thought she was so perfect
So she tried to end it

End her
Destroy her
Be her

Local Idiot

Vigilante wannabe
Intentions always good
Lost causes are his nemesis
Loyalty his strength
Abysmally annoying
Gauche socially to say the least
Egomaniac~ there’s one in every village

I Wannabe Be the Same Kind of Father That God Is

Receiving 
believing 
forgiven
 I want to be the same kind of father that God is

 forgetting

 and blessing 
protecting 

I want to be the same kind of father that God is
 
embracer

 comforter engaged and laughter 

I want to be the same kind of father that God is

Wishful Thinking

I don't wanna be a wannabe no more waiting for opportunity to come a'knocking on my open door and the day she does tho' the lights are on there's no one home as I'll probably be out to lunch knowing me so I wanna see 'Been there, done that!' on my resumé because I'm oh-so tired of being a never-was

The Wannabe Gods

With no good reason or excuse
Billionaires waste wealth and let loose
While earth goes awry
They'll float on a fly by
So Bezos can seem to be Zeus


Author's comment: M I impressed? Not at all. It only goes to show what small minds they have. You couldn't pay me to go his rocket either--even if it is the best money can buy. What is wrong with these people?

Submissive

Not me I said
You aint never gonna get me to stay
Batting my eyelashes
Rolling my eyes
Huffing Puffing till you realize
That I’m not
Submissive or Subdued
Hey you over there
Get on up and dance to this beat
People pleaser
Wannabe
Sad isn’t it
That I’m not
Submissive or Subdued
Wifey Material
Spirit of light
But you will never get your knight
Until you become
SUBMISSIVE & SUBDUED

Altered

.

beneath a sea, plates of dispute spawn waves,
born with the intent to leave the shoreline
altered

_
turbines of wind in pillage of fury, 
kill the helpless, but do not leave courage
altered

_
from brilliance of a firestorm's vengeance
don't be blinded by fear, hope must not be
altered

Society

When I try to blend in
They tell me to preserve my identity
Don’t try too hard; don’t be a wannabe

If I be myself, I stick out like a weed
Or am labeled a rebel

Who makes the rules and boundaries
Don’t see anybody with a blinding halo

Your guardians and nuances befuddle me
And I cannot kowtow to thee
You’re a conundrum to me, society

Daffodils At Thriplow

I saw Thriplow in its merriment
Vintage cars borrowed from Cambridge
and an abundance of folk singers
with strobes of defiant daffodils
food for the feasties
Morris Dancers sermonising past practice
and mud galore for the land lugger

wannabe grandad Rockabilly singers
and Betty Boothroyds cottage on display
St Johns Ambulance eagerly waiting patrons
Dray horses carrying wagons
This was an  experience to enjoy

Realization of the Wannabe

If you knew it all, 
You'd jump to conclusions
Have to work out the confusion
Reach a resolution
Swallow it whole and choke it down
If you knew it all, 
Maybe you wouldn't jump to conclusions
Pin me up to all the rest
Assumptions that are commendable
Hope to prove they are expendable
If you knew it all, 
You wouldn't jump to conclusions
Can prove the permutation
Finally in a good situation
This is my designation
