Sly Poems

Premium MemberSly boots

Trash talk transformed into love bombs.
You’ve got a nickname, it’s Sly boots. 
Knowing what’s real instantly calms,
trash talk transformed into love bombs. 
I’m not flexible like those palms.
Bending to you, I lost my roots.
Trash talk transformed into love bombs.
You’ve got a nickname, it’s Sly boots.

      Paranoia, a sly stealthy disease
      Fells men as tall and as massive as trees
         Tiny fears in their minds
         Unravel, leave behind

"Cheating and trapping others are malicious. One must never try to cheat, if he/she wishes not to be cheated"  ~ By Poet


At the GATE of a viscous net,
The sly spider waited alert. 
A fly flitting closer on SHADOW wings,
Was caught in the dewy JEWEL studded strings.
When about to be wound round in ductile rings,
The

Nazriel Rising Small World Ace

She was as pretty as ever on this night
With me smitten to bits with her aura
As we met on our usual pickup location
Nazriel that one who so compliments me

We were on an official business briefing
One of Epic proportions with intricacies
This time the operation was offshores
With me providing intel logistic n liaison

When she sings,
Soul and blues,
On angel’s wings.

Melody to choose.
Love her scat.
Notes all fuse.

Play that strat.
Yes it swings.
Where it’s at.

     She did it again,
     Surprises me to no end!
     Quietly walks over to the bag,
     Puts her nose in.
     Helps herself,
     To the treats within.

In the mirror you sat

You’re a mimic feline

A copycat with fur so fine

Eyes gleaming with tales of a mischievous spat

Sly

You know what I'm saying,
Those games you keep playing,
A dangerous domino effect you keep laying,

Tell yourself best intention,
Keep the peace, so don't mention,
A little further, you travel from redemption,

Can be dark or be white,
A lady in the night,
Either way, we know it ain't right.

Whatever the motive you feel,
This one truth is always real,
"I just wanna

Premium MemberGrandpa Frog Fools Sly Witch

the sly old witch crept down to the bog
hoping to get some legs of an unsuspecting frog
the frog she found was granddaddy, wise and smart
getting the best of old witches was his favorite art

He slapped her into quicksand really quick
that frog was intelligent, his dendrites thick
He said never come back if I let you out
She

A Sly Skunk’s Non’scents’ 

If you remember correctly, one night, I came upon Steve.
‘Twas a normal day that led to such a befuddling eve.
For, Steve is a skunk who decided to bunk and not leave.
I’ve learned just how quickly this sly little guy can deceive.
You won’t believe what he’s done in my house in the
