Tricky to Timmy

                   Two year old towering Timmy

Love can be such a tricky thing, isn't it?

This thing called love in all its multiple forms:
a mother’s, a partner’s, a spouse’s, a child’s, 
a friend's, a pet’s, a stranger’s, a sibling’s love.
And the very incomprehensibly incredible one:
God’s Love, with a capital L, no less!
Does it empower or embitter us?
Is it always such a double-edged sword, 
cutting both ways? Or do we wield

tricky small print

If you want to sign up for the Jupiter mission
Here is the catch: you have to be serious.
And you have to have $100,000 you are willing to lose
Because if the space ship blows up,
Or if the expedition is cancelled,
Of if the sponsor takes the money,
There are no refunds.
Only two people signed up.
A mother and son.
Who

Tricky

I was under a spell,
As I walked through those golden walls,
Under this majestic entrance,
I uncovered this palace;
I discovered library stairs...
Curious! Was my guilty pleasure, 
As I climb those stairs,
There is a little portal,
Still curious! I open it,
See! What's behind it,
What gift I may see...
On those mountains...
Under this giant palace.
You won't believe me...
When I declare:
The moment

Tricky Fiddler Kitty

Homey Domey Gomey Loamy Foamy Stoamy Roamy Doo
Delighted mice are dancing, around the kitty fiddler’s shoe
an hour ago I counted happy rodents numbering up to sixty-two
None of them realizing they are being led to a pot of tasty mousey stew

Words Are Tricky

Words 

Are also This..

But words 

May be tricky

Seeming to separate

To construct

Destruct..

But still This..

Resonance is

Possibly peace...

Working Out the Tricky Bits

Puzzle out the tricky bits;
kloangs can give you fits: so sick!
Here's a form that gets precise,
but when it all clicks, the sound is nice!

Tricky Chirp

The Tricky Chirp

The nester bird comes to live, 
in a nest, they did not make. 
Yet... the bird, 
feels right at home 
and not alone at all.

The new mom seems surprised, 
she can not hide it from 
her eyes, 
but she continues on
like any mother would. 

The brand new baby is larger than the rest.

Tricky Maneuver

Which is trickier, slipping or sliding?
The ice out there is a hard quarter inch. 
Which is riskier, gripping or gliding?
  
  I'm digging down deep in the workroom bench;
  I remember they are in here somewhere.
  The ice out there is a hard quarter inch.

   I've got grip thingies

The Sonnet Is a Tricky Thing To Write

The sonnet is a tricky thing to write.
Quatrains, exactly three, must come before
A pair, a couplet, rhyming nice and tight:
A rave of fourteen lines, no less, no more.

True, limericks and haikus, although brief,
Present linguistic challenges as well.
Nantucket does not bring comic relief;
Five/seven/five at times can feel like hell.

Yet nobler is the sonnet’s higher norm;
The quatrains

Tricky Dick - Not Nixon, Lol

Sophisticated, debonair, dashin'
Epitome of ultra-cool passion
 They called him Tricky Dick
 Thought himself mighty slick
Slipped on her runway ~ came to... spent, ashen

Tricky Squirrels

Tricky squirrels come out of the oaks 
Run around in the yard, flashing their tails
Distracting us as their cousins steal our coats,
Grabbing our newspaper, and our best mails.

They have a sneaky way I cannot explain.
They keep us busy in sunshine and rain.
One keeps us looking the wrong way of course.
While his cousin runs off with

Relatively Tricky

RELATIVELY TRICKY

I needed to choose six relatives
To form a “bubble” plus me.
I wanted to celebrate Christmas
During Covid restrictions you see.

All right, I know that makes seven,
One more than there ought to be.
But, if the police should come to check,
I’ll hide behind the settee.

But how to choose half a dozen
From such an extensive clan?
Well, first, although

Tricky Mickey

There was once a pickpocket named Mickey
 
   Whose technique was quite deft and so tricky

      He would bilk you of cash

         And away he would dash

            Leaving you
