Trickster Poems - Poems about Trickster

Faith and Hope

Faith demands we hope for
What cannot be true;
Hope insists we believe
In what will never be.

They are trickster twins
Commanding our allegiance,
Wishing us disappointment, despair and oblivion.
I prefer to trust my wits, sight and a little love.

cuckoo tricks bush warbler

the cuckoo is a lazy trickster
she lays her eggs in bush warbler’s nest
remember Mayzie LaBird in Dr. Seuss’s book Horton Hears the Who?
Bush warbler is tricked by cuckoo bird.
She thinks the eggs are hers.
Takes care of them until they hatch
And then raises cuckoo’s baby as her own.

the Trickster

Innocent overbright eyes
Paired up with soft gray fur
He looks ready for a cuddle
trickster’s unassuming ways

The Trickster

sneaky and crafty
zany and wacky
playing some practical jokes
leaving you covered in egg yolks
having a wicked sense of humor
Being a stylish crooner
Not being uptight
Making your life bright
Is there room for comedy
well, probably

The Trickster of Seville

to appear he’s not trying

the fire his mistress
Locked in an image
—whose essence is damned

Trickster

Trickster, it's crystal clear you profess to
                                 claim your innocence of being ethical and
         

A Trickster Cometh

Along street’s he’s casing, unseen in control
  Sickles and Scythes, double edged swords
 One hooks the young, other catches the old 
 And for winding up days, gets a tidy reward 
  Not diamonds or rubies, platinum nor gold
 But fruits, and candies, his Halloween hoard

Trickster

We recently lost my Grandpa
It took a toll on my Grandma
	she took to the bottle
	an unstable waddle
tripped on him hiding – such chutzpah!

Trickster Rhymester

The Trickster

The Trickster

Trickster is my polite name for a phisher or scammer
Guys that should be caught and put in the slammer.

I thought I was smart and never got fooled
Falling for one of their money grabbing tools.

But Public Clearing House said I won
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars and that's quite a sum.

Yes, my name was on

February Is a Well Learned Trickster

February is a fascinating gateway to cool hand crispy, fooling us yearly. 
Appearing yearly overnight, when we are dreaming of warmer things.
Covering the earth with her glistening white beauty, knowing we will be mesmerized.

Scarecrow Trickster

                        Standing silent, alone, without a friend,
            vigilant in the face of wind and rain.

Only God could convince the atheists

Medieval Clown
Fooled them all.

Mirrored people’s vanity
Physiognomonic 
Judge of humanity
Wasn’t hard at all.
