bluffing bold with empty hand
yet in one last move,
he plays the lone trump he holds ~

Gray squirrel bends water
above his tiny head.
Could it be he’s an
Avatar wannabe?
    Magic play

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.

Premium Member 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

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 

  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

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

Premium Member 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
    wannabe

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

Premium Member 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

Premium Member 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
