"amusing" poems
They act like foolish mice lost in a maze, with heart eyes, who only admire and send praise; so blown away, and stuck in a dumb daze. It’s amusing they excuse your wicked ways, and you can gladly starve them all for days; while smiling madly, not even fazed. They’re dim and dull, you need entertained. You can’t help it, you think, but don’t dare say, to sustain your pointless little games; that you can’t ever seem to abstain. It’s the higher ground you need to gain. So lure them in enduring your demented cage. Provoke their wrath and force them to cave, spread your foul poison to their every vein. There’s no denying they’re enslaved, locked tight in your chains.

Chains
Basketball stands for war or battle. That's why I think about the players' personalities, in my foxhole or squad. Danny and Ben are fast and smart. Dan especially can pass making him master and commander. To defeat them as we did is pst satisfying. Ben's five year old son disdains to answer my question Why are you you? But I'm not here to catalogue the men's personalities. I like them. But each of us has moved on many times, when ___________ suddenly died the games went on with hardly a mention and his name has since been forgotten. But even this, absolute mortality of not just our bodies but our names and souls is not what I came to talk about. Yesterday, between games, I asked Joe how Molly his daughter likes the high school. He mounted an impassioned defense of reading as the indispensable skill when I suggested math, the scientific method and history are essential too. Also between games Bob diffidently asked why my kids are bald. I was moved by the care he took to satisfy his curiosity, concerned the subject might be difficult. He's a political science teacher so I took the opportunity to ask What ails the republic? Of course I answered myself wanting mostly to hear myself talk about Iraq and how empire is self-correcting. For once I was amusing I thought, treating the subject with a light touch heretofore lacking. But none of this is what I came to say. A new guy, long quick and strong, a bulldozer under the boards with a good outside shot if needed got into a dispute with the other Bob who likes to tell people what to do sometimes, about an offensive foul Bob called which we almost never do. The new guy said If you can't take it don't play under the boards which is what I say when I'm ****** and don't give a **** Bob said You've been pushing and shoving me all day. I said He doesn't want to be pushed and shoved which got a wry smile out of Danny as I put the ball in play.

small cheap rooms where you walk down the hall to the bathroom can seem romantic to a young writer. even the rejection slips are amusing because you are sure that you are one of the best. but while sitting there looking across the room at the portable typer waiting for you on the table you are really in a sense insane as you wait for one more night to arrive to sit and type Immortal Words--but now you just sit and think about it on your first afternoon in a strange city. looking over at the door you almost expect a beautiful woman to walk in. being young helps get you through many senseless and terrible days. being old does too.

it's all right
The overripe mango that sits promptly on my desk stares at me through its one eye, indignantly asking to be eaten – before it goes bad. I consider, strongly, the mango’s proposition. Contemplating the level of hunger, or desire I have for this demanding piece of fruit. It may be that the latte I just finished burnt off any remaining taste buds I have, or it may be that I find something amusing about holding a mango hostage of its pride – but I just can’t eat it. A once firm, confident specimen edging ever closer to becoming a wrinkly, seeping, sack of rotten juice. Knowingly, I chain it to its fate by refusing to slice the skin back and swallow its sweetness. It demands to be mutilated rather than aged. As I sit here writing of my hostage, it continues to stare through its eye – spiting me. Cursing me with future putrid fruit, with worms in my apples, and with brown bananas. Oh, how I hate brown bananas. This mango has learnt well in the time it’s spent in my room, it knows my weaknesses. I always knew that fruit had character, but this mango – I tell you, it’s something else.

The overripe Mango
in making Marjorie god hurried a boy’s body on unsuspicious legs of girl. his left hand quarried the quartzlike face. his right slapped the amusing big vital vicious vegetable of her mouth. Upon the whole he suddenly clapped a tiny sunset of vermouth -colour. Hair. he put between her lips a moist mistake, whose fragrance hurls me into tears,as the dusty new- ness of her obsolete gaze begins to. lean…. a little against me, hen for two dollars i fill her hips with boys and girls.

In Making Marjorie God Hurried
En l’an trentiesme do mon aage Que toutes mes hontes j’ay beues… Pipit sate upright in her chair Some distance from where I was sitting; Views of the Oxford Colleges Lay on the table, with the knitting. Daguerreotypes and silhouettes, Her grandfather and great great aunts, Supported on the mantelpiece An Invitation to the Dance. . . . . . I shall not want Honour in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney And have talk with Coriolanus And other heroes of that kidney. I shall not want Capital in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Alfred Mond. We two shall lie together, lapt In a five per cent. Exchequer Bond. I shall not want Society in Heaven, Lucretia Borgia shall be my Bride; Her anecdotes will be more amusing Than Pipit’s experience could provide. I shall not want Pipit in Heaven: Madame Blavatsky will instruct me In the Seven Sacred Trances; Piccarda de Donati will conduct me. . . . . . But where is the penny world I bought To eat with Pipit behind the screen? The red-eyed scavengers are creeping From Kentish Town and Golder’s Green; Where are the eagles and the trumpets? Buried beneath some snow-deep Alps. Over buttered scones and crumpets Weeping, weeping multitudes Droop in a hundred A.B.C.’s

A Cooking Egg
By Arcassin Burnham when you looked in to my eyes, i had the strangest feeling, flying rodents in my tummy, retro waves came rolling in, witches and their brooms, soldiers at war , fighting and weaponry, car crashes into the lake, with fire and debris, clowns making entertainment amusing at the circus, make you happy with one kiss unless its worth it, stuck in a dream wave, retro waves that came rolling in.

"Dream Wave"
You’re a poisoned rose in a wedding band, A glad eye with a stabbing hand, A tumour ,vicious rumour surrounds you, BP Exxon -death abounds you, I first found you amusing and witty, cutting remarks a stick with both ends ****** Gutter scumbag with a glaze of charm, Only interested in doing harm, A sociopath with a crocodile smile, always had the last laugh,- real fight? Run a mile, Backstabber Judas priest,but **** was I deceived, Each Lie you sold I truly believed. I stood by you ,defended you til the bitter end, Bitter irony I know,with you as a friend, Who the **** needs enemies, its all a front, An affront to my instincts,get out of my life you **** chorus "My toxic friend this is the end get out of my life for good, Every time you smile a child dies you’re up to no good, Don’t call me-text me unfriend me before you end me, You’re the epitome of the new word-Frenemy." Now I hear you’re spreading rumours behind my back, Bad move,wrong play better stand back, Your malicious manouevery no longer stands, I’m two steps ahead your end is planned. You better watch your back,you’ve got no back up and no spine, Juggling hedgehog maze lies through a field of land mines, I’ve got my eye on you ex pal,don’t worry your time’s come, we’ll see who can outrun the .45 from a gun, That you’ve been begging for for years no tears at your end, You’re a poxy oxymoron my toxic friend. So come out to play my way and see who draws first, I guarantee you a surprise not my blood burst, Flying in the air like a hose god only knows, You’re a fly in my eye a burr under my skin so out she goes, The left that hits your jaw will saw your head from your neck You talk a good fight,good night,I’ll leave ya wrecked. chorus "My toxic friend this is the end get out of my life for good, Every time you smile an angel loses wings you’re no good, Don’t call me-text me unfriend me before you end me, You’re the epitome of the new word-Frenemy."

A Cockney Love Poem
Walk onto a stage called life and take a look around. There's much to be found in such a small space, more to give and much to take as the curtains called and you're pulled into this performance. Stare into the audience and pray for applause but what if you're met with silence? Spotlight on you as your hopes are ejected and you my friend have just been rejected and that is a hard thing to take. So take a seat, a rejection seat. Front row to your failures as they come In-ter-view. Call it the Dragons Den the Lions Pit and yet they ask me what kind of animal i'll be as i sit and daydream about Spiderman in a suit listing qualities of make believe as he's forced to fill in a CV just like me; not that i'm a superhero, i'm just saving face you see, it's just an amusing thought to ease the anxiety. And the voluntears they come in turn. Call em that cause they come momentarily to remind me involuntarily that sometimes i do need help and not all things are easy, not all things are meant to be. So i take a seat, will you take one with me? As you watch that relationship sail and wonder how did it fail? Bon voyAge is irrelevant. Whether it be school crush folly to divorcee it's a learning curve right? Hard when it seems the only thing you taught me is what it means to feel lonely. It's cold in that place called the one way street, so take a seat. Pull up a chair to something that's no longer there and share in despair as you stare at your feet. But you will raise your head eventually. Adopt the thinkers pose, indulge in some feelosophy. Cause a friend once said to me that rejection is a time for reflection and i tend to agree. So tell me, as i stare into the face of rejection why is it that i see my own reflection? Am i cursed to take this personally? It's always the shoulda, woulda, couldas that get to me. Do they get to you? If so take a seat. And are you sitting uncomfortably? Cause you shouldn't be. Take comfort as you stare along row upon row of chairs that stretch along beyond you and me. Side to side, across from and diagonally. Filling the Feartre. There's many to be found in such a small space, more that give and much that take and though this may be the closing scene there's another show tomorrow and you and I will receive our standing ovation, just take my hand and stand with me. Cause this seat was only ever meant to be temporary.

It's amazing the difference a piece of cloth can make Could it be that his scarf is really all that it takes For me to blissfully leave the pain in this world With the softness of this scarf around my fingers curled. He gave it once, then I stole it again I was slightly surprised he didn't complain Now its absence has left inside me a void That can only be filled by his scarf and Pink Floyd. It's kind of amusing that I want to return Back to that school, if only to yearn And notice as my pain away can be carved Just by feeling the softness of his scarf.

Honest, that meaningless word left dangling before children, a damoclean sword held fast in a gordian knot tied with scarlet thread, finer than the spider's that once tied men's souls to an angry American God, birthed in Transylvania, over the woods, and through the dale, no lie There is a tale of lies told in Nobel houses, never reachin' ground, Down here, we situations manifested to, vain, again, stem the tide, We flounder, fish out of water, why are we sent if wait he hears, he listens, haps he knows, and how such as we came to be here, Welcome and see, dare ye ask me in? Might I ply you with lies and you, believe 'em? I could make a mindless robot out of your parts, but that would take forever and that's not how Wisdom's child would tend to be, for first, You must believe a lie and I, amusing as can be, can't tell lies. Discernment, fine points, per-spicacity per se, the only way. Good luck (Luc, said luck in many tongues, is said Lose- as in Luc-ifer. It means light, as in light, regular old granted light.) Lightifier, good, take some, good light, for the travail, in the night. You see, not so long ago, for me, five years before I'as born, my momma moved to town. What was that like, I axed my old uncle, while back, movin' t'town, in 1943? Well, he says, We had electricity. USA, 1943, some folks still was poor, and all the good men was gone to war. Cities, it was different, if the movies got it right, Bowry Boys, n'em. In the desert we did, okeh, in town, though, we had electricity. He was ten back then. He'd been huntin' rabbit's, to buy Christmas presents from Sears and Roebucks, since he was five. C'mon, I say. No lie, he say, BLM or some gover'ment whatsajigger, was payin' 2 cents a pair fer jack rabbit ears. 'Said he bought Christmas presents for his mom and dad, and my mom, with his first rabbit money, at five. Shootin' with a single-shot 22, 12 cents a box, Jack Rabbits, 2 cents a head. Three Christmas presents, plus postage, $2.56. Do the math, I think, and go - Five years old, at ten, he moves to town, 1943, we had electricity. That's all.

You find yourself so bored out of your mind, that it becomes amusing to drive others out of theirs Good girls will leave their heart at your doorstep and days later, you'll have the pieces scattered around your bedroom Your old drug of choice just doesn't seem to cut it any more, but manipulation has never felt more addicting. Make them say your name, make them tell you they love you Keep that memory alive when you stop returning their calls and when your words have cut deep enough, don't flinch when you see your mother cry for the first time and don't think twice when you know that you're the reason why Where did your feelings go? **You see how red your anger can be, but do you remember what shade remorse is?** You prey on the people that love you most and run them dry You feed off of their hope that maybe you'll change. But you don't entertain the thought of love anymore and you'll never see that people are not just another notch in your belt.

Humans are not Hobbies
On the land molded by footsteps and ruled by obnoxiously bleached clowns, Visited by swarms of neighborhood guttersnipes and the opulent from uptown. Allured by the traditional Irish circus music and the grinding of rusted gears, To arrive at dawn and to leave only when the night sky is tired of fireworks and flares. Skittish and gleaming eyes would roll on the floor, struck by daze and lost in wonderment, At the marvel of giant steel rides and god forsaken and socially foretoken genetic mutants. The word of a woman with two faces and the boy with a tail would make any catholic priest run. Amusing the rational ones, alongside the man with elastic skin and the girl with the forked tongue. The opera lady with outlandish proportions and tumorous lips sings to break a piece of cheap glassware. Little do people know,that the magician’s red gloves are actually stained with blood of rabbit that disappeared. Their noses get caught in the medley of fragrances from the exotic perfumes shop, Blended with the saccharine tang from the stall that sells candy floss and soda pops. Indulging over the overly priced confectioneries at the stall of the baker with the forbidding grin. Try it a hundred times,try it a thousand,you’ll never get the fifth one right in the game of rings. People will come out screaming from the haunted house,only to laugh about it later, Little do they know,that skeletons that drove them pale and white couldn't get any realer. They’ll jostle and struggle to make their way through the crowd to various rides and attractions. Hustling to navigate through the maze the carnival is, encountered by countless illusions. And once your body wears out and senses give in,that’s when you've truly entered the carnival state of mind. Your ears stinging ,nose stifled,tongue baffled, eyes exhausted,and your sense of judgment blinded. That’s when my masked act begins,the most profitable act at the carnival, Diving into the heart of the crowd,to draw an act of brilliance lasting an ephemeral. Slithering across the crowd in a different disguise every hour,concealed by stealth. Sneaking into every nook and corner and slipping my furtive hands into your pockets for a little bit of wealth. Only to dine with the clowns and the carnival family at the haunted house at the end of the day. And of course, rabbits for dinner,if the baker may

In conversation with my cousin, she says, 'Oh my God, my brother-in-law still remembers you as my cousin with the 'nice ass'; the 'hottie' from my wedding. Still talking about me after all these years, I see. I couldn't help but think, 'wow, quite the first impression I must make, or is it the impression I leave BEHIND?' and I felt the wheels spinning in my mind, as they always do, trying to decipher what the appropriate response to such an admission should be... in this...particular...instance. And I heard this voice in my mind, shout, in its softest tone, 'I...AM MORE...THAN JUST... A...NICE...ASS, if you take the time to know me.' So I realize that I find the observation anything but flattering. Amusing, predictable, redundant...yes. But am I flattered, am I even intrigued, or... impressed, in the slightest? Not at all. For me, it is just... inevitable entertainment, among other things I won't freely admit at this time. But if, and when, I happen to lose any components of my identity, I can always remember, that if nothing else, I am... (not my name, or even my fetching idiosyncracies, but...) the 'Hottie with the nice ASS', and I wouldn't be able to help, but smirk. -by Mercurychyld Copyrights

Two images of flowers suddenly appeared up the sky One with beyond compare beauty While the other could be the ugliest ever seen People studied them, but they seem a mirage They just appeared out of the blue Can’t be touched, an unexplained phenomenon Until it became part of the daily life scenery One day, the public smells a lovely scent The most pleasant fragrance they’ve ever inhaled They’ve looked at the beautiful flower They’ve adored its gorgeousness Noticeably the pretty flower seems to grow more The next day, humanity smells some disgusting odor The most unpleasant stench they’ve ever breath in They’ve looked at the ugly flower They’ve hated and cursed it Visibly the unattractive flower shrunk The next morning, human race smells another lovely aroma Much more amusing than before They’ve glanced at the sky And there’s only one flower left The most beautiful one So they've dance and sang praises Not knowing, that’ll be the last beautiful scent They’ll ever inhale during their entire lives 10/21/2015 Mysterious Aries

The Last Scent
some times I believe, not think, but believe, that there are indeed little figures in the grass, brushing my ankles with tickles and laughs sometimes in mid of velvet black, can see them waving their six fingered hands in front of the lights across the bay, for the twinkles are different, their winkles, semaphoric, euphoric, random but patterned every know and every then, could they be inside me, inciting riots, sugar sharp pains, in places where pain has no place purposed, feel them lifting my-back-of-the-neck hairs, at scary movies, making an ear itchy, why? these elusives are fairie godmothers, personal angels, hobgoblins, shoulder sitters, amusing muses ear whisperers, of new poem titles sock stealers, shoelace knoters, giggling self-amusers, ever present, ever invisible, hat hiders, wet spot slider installers you say you know them too? cousins perhaps, for my elusives, could not be here and there, for they are: as I write, as I speak, this very second fluttering my eyelids, those rascals, to lay me down to sleep, in cherishing tenderness me to keep for they know too well, sleep, is an elusive of a different kind, like peace of mind, but they do their best, to distract me unto rest

The Elusives
TW: r#pe culture anxiety-riddled, my head is a constant battle of sounds and feelings crashing like waves into each other; interference scares me. as does being out of rhythm, missing too many beats — i am conflict-averse but i am also realistic: i know that sound travels faster through solids and liquids than through the air, can be distorted and interfered into oblivion— that when push comes to shove, whisper networks can only reach so far. scores of screaming matches between metoo advocates and r#pist apologists crescendos of nails scraped across a board feel a bit too familiar like listening to white noise and broken records on repeat while scrolling through toiletpaperworthy nonapologies witnessing victims collectively crying in an orchestra of agony and then be blamed for attention-seeking at best, of causing their own suffering at worst. although it pains me to listen to these tragic tunes, it is amusing how so many mishear this collective choir as survivors celebrating with silly receipts in cancel parties serving blistering hot tea sweetened by revenge - no all this is anything but cathartic. it’s to make people aware that the same melodies are sung or screamed by those who suffered similar pains and so that those of a similar frequency know there are those who listen that their voice matters and we are not alone. - 20210315

karmic crescendo
What if the voices I hear are from God? Then I am Satan, and we’ll stay at war. I’ll strike him so with my ruby rod. And impale him down into the earth’s core. What if the voices I hear are from space? I’m an alien with horns and a spot. No one believes these voices are my race. They do comment and understand my thoughts. What if the voices I hear are man-made? I shall sail the seas like Columbus– through the stormy nights where I greet afraid. I’ll find the land this man encompasses. And I’ll ask him why he made me this way. Does this mean I’m special– brought to a curse? These voices persecute me every day. They have become the air that I breathe. My mind is louder than New York City. I tell it to shut up, and it’ll yell back. I tell my story. Some say I’m gritty. How can I be brave? I let them do this. My mind dominates until I have none. Some of them complain more than my grandma. Voices play games with me till it’s no fun. They nibble parts of my brain, and they gnaw. Oh, voices, voices, why do you taunt me? It is amusing. I don’t let others bully. I let my mind become the enemy. **** these voices! You have already won, you, see? I watched “A Beautiful Mind” by John Nash. How can this mind be beautiful when it’s all gone? I do draw what I see throughout the day. I realized these figures took my mind away.

I Lost My Mind
_Pardon me, for taking the time to only express my frequent thoughts in mind. You Deserve all the tranquility your beautiful soul has to provide You shift minds, with the flick of a switch! Creativity explosion, amusing in aspects! Kudos, to your classy style in writing, combined with sarcasm and unfolds passion! I believe, it aid the lives, whom seeking answers to themselves, when it comes to your art. Your heart is what we feel reading your work. Do not let the battle make you weary. These are the words not only from a dark magician. A friend. A supporter. Whom would not have access to power, to maintain balance on my abilities, if I did not learn from the ways of the Huntress! Fighting with magic, and weapons are different styles! Still they both use energy! Needless, to say our overall goal for liberty, are highly similar! I believe you were meant to empower people. Do not be afraid, to take my strength. I will do anything for a friend!" Your growing strength will spark a powerful resolution. Get ready!_

Miss...If I May
I walk on a park so serene that birds gather on the tree tops to sing a song that so nostalgic in a way you lighten up and smile to embrace the setting sun an overwhelming feeling nonetheless and you cannot ignore the view of the diving sun splattering depths of maroon to the innocent clouds co-waltzing by with the grey blue sky so obvious which only shows a beauty the nature can offer to the mortal eyes to see the scenery is alluring that I would rather enjoy to sit under a tree than to relax my body on a bench that are lined in an amusing way facing the performance  of the slow warm afternoon I write under a tree to feel the fullness of this afternoon scribbling poems because in this way I feel amazingly close to  nature that I appreciate every bit of it, watching the butterflies playing a game of hide and seek while the one hiding are the little pretty flowers rooted near the trees and the other rooted under the bench and how I notice the trees are laughing cause the butterflies can’t seem to find the shy flowers because in this spot I can see clearly what’s happening around me every bit of it kids running around full of innocence and happiness not minding the butterflies a lovers embracing each other like they are the only sweet thing around and gaze at each other’s eye that seems likely make the time lingers and look at the bench again that is not so far away from me an uneasy feeling, a feeling of familiarity, a feeling of connection just like me sitting alone under a tree a girl alone on her bench I look at you partly because you’re alone like me enjoying the dawdling afternoon, partly because you have the beauty my very heart so desire, partly because you make my heart skipped a beat this past few days, partly because my love for you is growing every day I see you here and it is not that hard to focused my all attention to you ignoring everything around me even the love the couple emits with their embrace but you seem to be in trance with the love the couple radiates and closely in your eyes melancholy tears fell but still your even perfect when you cry and even angels weep to see you cry maybe you miss the love you once have, maybe you feel so alone and so absorbed that you feel there is no hope for the right one for you but only if you would look at me here by the tree and I’ll give you a hope, I’ll offer you a smile so warm but I can’t tell I’m the one only you can, but I’m sure I could kiss your tears goodbye and you’re the only one I see myself dancing and holding each other’s hand to stand near the tree when the sun sunk and this is all I’m hoping tell you about it.

It's getting me worried It loses all glory Confusion and fears Is there, what appears Another strange moment The energy's missing Its colour is new A new day processing As if I changed My program in brains As if the software Needed some updates Relaxed but tense The opposites rule Too less defense Too much to do The energy's a useful tool I need to get from somewhere It should appear inside of me Not the confusion, that I see I kinda lost something The passing days I tried to evaluate But it's a mess I wanted it perfect I wanted it right But now life's teaching me It's alright I gotta accept it I gotta move on I gotta just stop Comparing at all Too much to question there I know, I don't know where The best solution's hiding But I will fight, Ill find it This is already What I do right now I give myself energy I give myself power I encourage myself To go on Keep on moving On fighting Stop crying Amusing how dramatic it sounds My creativity now is unbundling I will heal the confusion I will break the illusion I will always keep going And myself, it is growing

Self encouragement
Old grump not so pleased Out to see what's at ease In the winter cold deep freezing Gentle words melts his heart that's a first Oh! Quit teasing Slow to talk yes he stutters which we find kind'er amusing Rolled away cast aside old and frail free from using What's the fuss all about in his eyes it looked confusing Watch your step! Missed a step Broke a leg not so easy
