Zanesville, OH I was never sure about what to put here.
I know why the joker   Doth smile and jest, And laughs so gleefully at thee.      Thy spirits, he soothes,       With frolicking moves; The way he sways is so lovely.    The cracks that he'll take   Are enough to make The dimmest and dullest of minds       Feel stricken and stabbed        With all that he's jabbed: His kicks are gained heeding your bind.    Showcases of joy,   He seeks to employ: Even if it's at your expense,       He'll take your dismay,        And cast it away! Despite his obvious offense...

Why Doth the Joker Smile and Jest?
You've such a bitter temperament, Those foul blows were no accident. Every scorch you brutally dealt For all this searing pain you felt Left behind a disastrous wreck, Decimating your foes to specks. Your artful carnage stands unmatched Since the moment your anger hatched! You forcibly feed your contempt In some ruthless way to attempt Stoking the flames which brew inside Your calloused heart you try to hide. It needn't be put on display, It plainly seems it's in dismay. You must reject this bitter spite! Against this hatred, you must fight! In darkest skies and blackest sea, You mustn't fuel your misery. Towards the light, you have to strive! Only in love, you'll feel alive. Passion's a challenge to control, Never must it take such a toll On your spirit and innermost Fiery soul and ageless ghost! You must regain sound discipline and ensure that you'll surely win This battle waged within yourself, And claim triumph for no one else.

Vermillion Inferno
With power comes responsibility, 'Tis only used sparingly and wisely. To abuse such gifts proves futility, Done in foolish manner, quite naively. Exercise thine strength by showing restraint, True power's revealed when it's kept at bay. Though firm discipline's what you should acquaint, Ne'er should you succumb as easy prey To those who labor under false belief That they can freely make others feel grief. The repercussions to likely entail From such heinous acts they deem justified Will show that higher powers will prevail, And by these powers, we should all abide.

Wisdomic Sonnet for the Burden of Power
He's off to spend every night and day Watching his dreams slowly fade away Into the void of endless abyss, The blackened skies of a hazy mist. He longingly recalls his desires, Cast asunder in their pyre. The world decreed that he'll never need Such useless whims in his foul mire! "What good could you ever try to prove? You were made to fail, and born to lose! You think you only need be clever To saunter your way through this grand ruse?" Although they tried, he stands undeterred From their efforts to make him unnerved. He calmly waits for his opportune Break into eminence, coming soon! Though he witnessed his dream's demise, He knew quite well it spelled not the end. He felt confident when he surmised That on his dreams, he could depend! He knew the death of an idea Could only beget another's birth. When one seems to fall, the next stands tall, And what ensues brings plentiful mirth! All these dreams, they shan't stop producing, It just takes an active fantasy! You can spend as much time as needed, And you're bound to think infinitely About all the possibilities You could imagine eternally! Endless bouts of fruitful pondering, All this brainwork, you'll be marvelling! Though you stifle our labors, it seems Nothing can truly **** all our dreams!

The Death and Rebirth of a Dream
Do you dare dabble in unknown power To crush any decrepit enemy Who foolishly tries to flee and cower From your unrivaled, profound devilry? Will you wager your own fateful demise, Even though your sanity's quite terrorized At the atrocious nightmares you create Which none can fathom, yet you celebrate? They've nowhere to retreat from this downfall You've wreaked upon their sordid sanctity! Now, what they must heed is the final call Of their imperative fatality! Suffering in this agonizing Hell, They'll spend the rest of eternity.

A Sonnet for Maleficent Woe
Just enough riddles To number thirteen. What makes me giggle, You might call obscene! 1. The start of the end, At the end of time. Comes first in Earth, And finishes rhyme. 2. Inside this foul clan, you will find Not just two, but three of my kind. 3. What doth thine eye Most keenly spy During the calm Of the stormy sky? 4. Actors eagerly Anticipated This primary line, Then participated. 5. It might make you think Of something like "aches", The black ball in pool With the number "8". 6. A young man, Arnie Placed his ball on me When he stopped mixing This drink, lemony. 7. Beginning of first, But never in last. It's how you begin To scribe the text fast. 8. The one who's reading This most bizarre tale, On who I depend To somehow prevail! The first word's a name, The third can explain The point of this game, So simple and plain. B-A-C-F-E - F-E-A - D-H-A-A-G

The Great Word Scramble Riddle
There seems to be a slight downfall With how I sometimes "know it all". Even though I can still predict All these outcomes, I must admit That since I fail to ever act During these events taking place, I question why my mind is wracked; All these issues, I cannot face. Preemptive sense with a pretense Is practically self-defeating. Though you carry knowledge, immense, You'll soon find yourself repeating The same mistakes you made before, And you'll make them forevermore.

A Gift Made Moot
If I would eat alphabet soup, And afterwards, take a nice, long **** The random combination of letters In the bowl's water, all splattered, Would make an infinite amount Of sense when compared To all the ramblings you surmount And somehow feel obliged to share.

Just a Humorous Insult in Poetic Form
It seems as though the road to Hell Was only paved with good intent. Though you try to offer a hand, You often feel abrupt lament For such shameful, yet obvious Indignant and deplorable Remarks you knew they'd not repent And knew would sound just horrible. How they can't think before speaking Only makes all their arguments Lose any credibility And creates such a vast dissent With those who see past the futility Behind this debate's disgraceful content.

The Fallacy of Good Intent
*There are many fates which we can conceive That easily prove to be worse than death. The type of cruel doom most cannot believe, The kind of affair which sharpens your breath. You could succumb to plague, famine, or war, All these atrocities, you would labor For what may seem like an endless purview, And all these nefarious blights, you'd rue. You could feel regret for what might've been, And solely dwell in memories of past, Constantly question what you did, and when, Think of why you went where you would hold fast. Death's a luxury compared to the strain That's inherent with life's shackling chains.*
