"tricky" poems
who lit the candles placed so eloquently behind purple rock? that sculpted radiance and chapel grace wound in a chosen defined way down the spiral stone stairs street cars dawdle alongside the packer slew biding merchants shuffle their wares as the front man and pock face sing their sullen holy blues cut jazz echoes over the accompanying gabble and drone incense and haze pour from a lower trap door sack fish, truffles and splendid crafts shine inside the stained glass fronts a wide mouth snapper with a bloated tongue greets the morning tide (not camera shy in the least!) the fish traps and beaneries bring life to the flourishing causeway hula hoops and circle ballers join the cobaine stage favoured rogues and mac jacks speak easy of the big daddy beth’s triple by pass taking firm hold on tricky **** and the nutcracker maze ways, taggers and lost tunnels of cu chi strike a nerving blow a poised finger man belts out his tune (with a sniff sock and iterating glare) his nosey neighbors cut artisan bread (with a white wine and jelly spread) midwives push forward for an afternoon toddle and stroll

Step One: Meet someone. Step Two: Become friends. Step Three: Spend too much time with them. Step Four: Realize that you have gotten along better with them than anyone else you know. Step Five: Tell yourself that they're the one for you. Step Six: Tell them that they're the one for you. Step Seven: Date. Step Eight: Fall in love. Take a deep breath. This is where it gets tricky. STEP NINE: Stay together for awhile... STEP TEN: AND AWHILE LONGER STEP ELEVEN AND WHILE LONGER STEP TWELVE AND AWHILE LONGER AND AWHILE LONGER AND AWHILE LONGER AND AWHILE LONGER STEP THIRTEEN: SHORTEN CONVERSATIONS STEP FOURTEEN: AWKWARD SILENCE STEP FIFTEEN: THEY STOP CALLING STEP SIXTEEN: THEY STOP TEXTING STEP SEVENTEEN: THEY SAY THEY FEEL DIFFERENTLY STEP EIGHTEEN: THEY SAY THEY MET SOMEONE ELSE STEP NINETEEN: THEY SAY THEY STILL WANT TO BE FRIENDS STEP TWENTY: THEY BLOCK YOU ONLINE STEP TWENTY-ONE: THEY BLOCK YOUR CELLPHONE NUMBER STEP TWENTY-TWO: YOU CRY and you cry and cry and cry and cry and cry and cry...

How To **** Yourself Without Dying: In 23 Simple Steps
Enter the world of color Of competition And danger. Where all things seem possible and Nothing is unexpected Where enemies Are tricky Cunning and just plain stupid Fat and lazy. Where an Italian man With a moustache And wearing red Screams "Let-se-go!" Yes that is the world I Am speaking of. The world of the wishful, Dreaming they could live in it forever

Last week I was taught that no matter how complex an expression may seem if you multiply it by its conjugate pair you will always end up with a non-negative real solution. That is a metaphor for how we have learned to love. I used to like mathematics, as strange as it may sound, because memorising the value of pi was somehow easier than forgetting the notion of you and I thought maybe comprehending the mechanics of the universe would lead me one step closer to cracking the combination. In a world that spins at the rate of 27,900m per minute, a constant can prove tricky to find. Hence, there is solace to be felt in knowing that even when it is all said and done – when the final bullet has slipped from our tongues and we are left trembling upon nothing but the rubble of our own destruction, two plus three will still be equal to five. In an attempt to clarify a theory to the class, my teacher analogised that mathematics is like one big giant jigsaw puzzle: everything always fits together perfectly in the end Since then I have learned it is the method without the madness, the passion for the predictable; it is everything - that love is not. Not even the greatest mathematician in the world has been able to measure how much a heart can hold. There is no algorithm for how to make you come back; I cannot draw a line graph on the speed at which love left and even if I could, our gradients would never be the same. I may have both halves of the bed, but there is never enough space to fill it with. If a task takes four hours for ten people to complete and the same job takes five people twice that time, how long will it take for a human to feel whole again? Sometimes I think we are nothing more than two parallel lines that accidentally crossed paths.

I think I fall under the category of The Hopeless Romantic And the thing about about me, The tricky thing of hopeless romantics Is that, when I say hello to someone, (And that hello is magical ) When I fall in love I never  Imagine that That  Hello can turn into a good bye And when I have a first kiss with someone I never ever imagine that someday That could turn into a last kiss.

Circle of Life
People always seem to misunderstand me, It's amazing how they can judge so quickly, That's why I decided to always be the happy one, The one to make jokes and everything seemed fun, But what they don't know is that anxiety, Floods through me. How much I hold back from the things I really want You see it's a cruel world out there I learned how to people can stab you in the back and pretend to care, How everything you do is going to be judged by people who have no clue. So I've learned to sugarcoat my opinions, Hide behind a lie: a smile Be the nice one in every situation Someone who would go that extra mile Still it wasn't enough, In the end I was still misunderstood. Even if my intentions were good it still got twisted to some bad stuff. So I just hold myself back trying to save myself from all the heartache, Avoiding the trouble my emotions would make Sugar coating my opinions In serious situations Just drowning myself lyrics Avoiding all the tricky topics Yet once again they misunderstand me, They come up with this version of my life story, they'd assume I'm always lonely, And honestly it makes me angry, Because they don't even know me.

Misunderstood
A monster appears like one from your childhood An inner battle commences Between the bad and the good At first, you'd find them in movies or under the bed Now as you grow, you fear The monsters live in your head Disguised as shadows in night, New monsters now appear These monsters are sneakier, They know what you fear Struggling to breathe, your eyes filled with fear Trapped, alone, no where to hide Can't escape, it's far and it's near This monster is tricky, It plays tricks on your mind, You plead for it to stop, But there's no where to hide This monster knows you It makes you question your past With a bleak outlook, You wonder how long this might last The one place you felt safe Before this monster invaded Now your mind is no solace Every good memory faded How do you run from something That plays tricks on your mind? How do you know who you are When it's yourself you can't find? How do you feel joy from things that now trigger pain? How do you move forward with life when only fear remains? We all grow up It's a natural part of life No one ever warns us though That life comes with great strife No one ever tells us To be afraid of our thoughts Feeling lost and alone With many battles still to be fought Once this monster invades, It's hard to get back To a life once lived, Before this monster attacked Our parents warned us of the bad guys outside They never told us of the ones in our minds And now this monster has control You no longer recognize the mirror You pray for this to end, For prayers fall upon deaf ears You question your sanity, You question your morals This monster knows how to torture To envelop you in its toil You know you have a battle ahead This monster can't defeat Crippled by the past You must overcome and beat This is an illness This is internal torture But you mustn't forget You've got a bright future You must fight on, Between this inner war Good versus evil, What do you fight for? Fight for love, Fight to win back your mind Fight for family and joy Fight for what you still must find Monsters can attack Anyone, anytime Lest not judge For you never know when a monster might prey upon YOUR mind Author note: end the stigma of mental illness. Talk about it.

Light and Dark: my battle with OCD, intrusive thoughts, anxiety and depression
A monster appears like one from your childhood An inner battle commences Between the bad and the good At first, you'd find them in movies or under the bed Now as you grow, you fear The monsters live in your head Disguised as shadows in night, New monsters now appear These monsters are sneakier, They know what you fear Struggling to breathe, your eyes filled with fear Trapped, alone, no where to hide Can't escape, it's far and it's near This monster is tricky, It plays tricks on your mind, You plead for it to stop, But there's no where to hide This monster knows you It makes you question your past With a bleak outlook, You wonder how long this might last The one place you felt safe Before this monster invaded Now your mind is no solace Every good memory faded How do you run from something That plays tricks on your mind?

LONG ago I learned how to sleep, In an old apple orchard where the wind swept by counting its money and throwing it away, In a wind-gaunt orchard where the limbs forked out and listened or never listened at all, In a passel of trees where the branches trapped the wind into whistling, "Who, who are you?" I slept with my head in an elbow on a summer afternoon and there I took a sleep lesson. There I went away saying: I know why they sleep, I know how they trap the tricky winds. Long ago I learned how to listen to the singing wind and how to forget and how to hear the deep whine, Slapping and lapsing under the day blue and the night stars: Who, who are you? Who can ever forget listening to the wind go by counting its money and throwing it away?

Wind Song
There is nothing more unsettling than a teenage Christmas. The coming of age when adults find their inner child again and you have to try and get rid of yours. 11 is fine. Part of you still believes Santa put the presents under tree. 12 is also okay, just a little less pixie dust stirs in the stomach on Christmas Eve. 13, 14 and 15 are tricky. You don't want to look babyish by getting too excited, so you shrug it off and ask 'Santa' for a mobile phone, a laptop, a TV, until by 15 you ask for the most 'grown up' present of all. "I just want money." The words burn your lips and tongue like acid, a yearning for the sensation of a gift you can unwrap tugging in your rib cage. You can't buy that. 16, 17 and 18 are Christmases tinged with nostalgia. Little ghosts of the younger you run down the stairs on Christmas morning, feet clad in slippers and Power Rangers pjyamas askew, whilst you follow in procession, almost a funeral. It's not that you don't like Christmas. It's not that you don't love your family. It's not that you don't feel a fire light in your belly when you bite into a mince pie, it's not that the battered Christmas videos your family replay each year don't still make you smile, it's not even that you've gotten too old for it all. Have you? Slippers and tiny fists batter against advent calender doors, begging you to open them. When you're 19  you do. You let them out and let them rush to rip open their presents under the tree. You let them eat their selection box first before dinner. You let them cry when the Snowman melts and you let them laugh and not mock heave when your father chases your mother with mistletoe. You let the ghosts become holograms you can play in your mind like a projector and slides, no longer a need to leave holly by their graves but a chance to remember and smile. You let them be happy.

I want to find my Alaskan Sunrise. Her appearance rare but burned into memory. Whose warmth begins a new era in time. Doesn't last long but neither does high tide. Her beauty is an Alaskan Sunrise. Burns away evils of the past. Replacing my thoughts with a warmth that will last. The light at the end of the month, Tunnels of darkness a tricky labyrinth. But I will find that Alaskan Sunrise, All in good time, As I wait out the dark, Dreams of her warmth, Warms the hollow tree's bark. My Alaskan Sunrise will melt the dark ice cold, Erase the old, Replace with gold, Hell, I'm already sold. Alaskan Sunrise, All in good time.

Poor little octopus. Big head and eight tentacles but no ***** ***** or testicles. What's that, you say? Then how do these poor little cephalopods buck such terrible odds when they feel like a ****** agenda and they don't have any pudenda? Well, it's quite simple, really. He hands her ***** on a tentacle and what do you suppose? She says, thank you very much, and sticks it up her nose! Honest. No dinner first or shoulder massage, she just whacks it up her nasal passage. You can be quite sure this is an amazing olfactory aperture. So the moral is, don't complicate a simple process. When you're feeling frisky, *** need not be tricky. Just consider the inventiveness of the octopus with no ***** or a ******** Because it's the ingenuity of the octopus, not it's ****** act, that we should court. Compared to the octopus, the human nose is naught. It's too high up and tight for such naughty, wicked sport.   Also, such a human act is fraught with political incorrectness.   A gentleman who tries this little rort to get the girls to snort and says, up your nostril, madam, might all too well receive a rude retort. Or even worse! I say herein lies food for thought.                                                                                      Mike T Minehan

Octopussies
A demon masquerading as the almighty dollar; she is cunning, and she is tricky. She is beguiling, and she is illusory. Deceitful and avaricious, yet believers follow aimlessly. To have her in your possession is nothing like how it feels to be stripped of her. Those who succumb to her seduction are granted luxury and leisure; the pledge to idolize her mindlessly is engraved into our brains. Indigence, starvation; the deprivation of the green goddess is malicious. Free yourselves from the hold she has on you; from the worldly power she possesses.

The Bird is never still Flying from one topic to the other Her chatter loud and uncensored Her friends twittering at her to be quieter The Bird has many friends But Birds always sleep alone And cold With their hollow bones The Fox is the Bird's friend The Fox is tricky Weaving in and out of conversations Gorgeous And sleek The Fox makes rabbits fall in love with her so she'll have plenty to eat The Bird and the Fox are unconventional friends Friends no one would think would click But the Bird will chatter and chatter and the Fox will quietly sit Listening to everything Retaining information The Chameleon is the Fox's and the Bird's mutual friend When with the Fox they match their red When with the Bird they match their blue And so on So no one really knows the Chameleon's true colors Whoever you are They'll match you Blending in A social camaflouge That they think keeps them safe And when together they are quite A sight Wandering loudly Through the night They are a strange group And when together they're tight Exchanging advice Or judging each other But never outright You'll never catch the bird But be careful if you do If not gentle with your touch Her bones will crack right in front of you The Fox puts on a face Bearing teeth and changing mates But under all that glossy fur She's scared that you won't want her If you catch the Chameleon off guard You might be surprised What you see is never what you get But if you look real hard The chameleon will freeze and fall down to their knees please, please, just like me ......

The master of emotion, The king of the dance, Hurried fingers add A note of daring chance. Molten happiness Floats in the air Like a passing good dream; With never a care. Now poignant, Now sad, How melencholy How deep and drab. Silver metal gleams In the eye of the mind, Lost an ancient battles On which the sun shined. Melodies curl around inside, Twining round my arms- This music can protect me From any kind of harm. Sharp, shrieking voices Let out a scream As they find out the world Is not what it seems. A starry night captures A beautiful song For a love through the ages, The ages so long. The smooth rythms Of the everlasting trees Whisper quietly Throughout the leaves. Musty notes In a darkened room, And sunshine floods Into the gloom. Music tells the truth And the truth never lies, But pianos are tricky And their feelings they hide. Anger forces the Furious beats Into the world And off silent sheets. Midnight and brightness Float in the stars, Connecting all people, So close and so far. Pure and simple, Liquid notes Fall in arpeggio scales Through dancing dust motes. A single tears falls, Making no sound As keys pull memories Up from the ground. Everything's so simple When played in black and white; The piano controls My darkness and light.

Emotions of A Piano
Mirror, Mirror what do I see? My demon staring back at me! That very same demon that gives me fright in early day coffee and every night! The demon is handsome with devilish smile Sad, they don't know that this demon is vile! There's times that he buries himself deep inside But, when he comes out there's nowhere to hide! The demon is tricky at every turn disguised as an angel; ready to burn! Fantastic achievement! You're doing great! The demon said, "Nope!" then pooped on my plate! You're doing much better! Keep up the good work! The demon says, "Whatever!" Man! He's such a **** When I tried to fight him; my body would ache. I've finally learned that that's a mistake! I made a decision to let my heart mend and welcome the demon in as a friend! You can sit quietly; don't ring my bell because if you do I'LL SEND YOU TO HELL!

*standing on the threshold of change, I await a fresh-line but the universe may be unready if not, I may take to choppy-waters all by myself* 1. if we are all stuck in the jam of time perhaps, if we spread it out real thin some of us could actually lift off and catch a ride.. out free some hostage from the twisting temporal-joints and the wool-gatherers mind their business and footsore beggars dine on exotic-things deep in the heart of the jungle where Nebuchadnezzar parked his dreams of old by saving your surprise for a weekday jaunt we limp on in the vacant-dust of paradox yet get unavoidably detained by the present undo the ribbons and the package may unfold its.. things espy the tick-tock riding the margin of fright common sense of morn lies delightfully unfinished and the wrong side of a bold idea gets squashed the brain-weary ingest their lot and plough on through thickets of tricky-fate while tiptoeing silent on the farthest-blades of brimstone holding subtly aloft.. the frankness of aiding-spectres 2. balloon of green, balloon of blue hold out your hand and pray you get no inequalities of flame easy catch of the sound of science scoffing in the parlour when we try to do something different; take a chance uncivilised-humour will argue the rings off your punctured-lobes any germ of new plan must needs be nurtured let any frenemy go; intolerant-ilk do better by their vacuous selves remarkably convenient there's almost enough water in the well to soak up the ivory-rays and let them fly and there's a breeze lifting the needle off the ancient-groove spinning reels on the bay *no, you will never convince me that the time-keeper holds all keys 'cos I snuck out furtive.. late one night and sawed through.. for a whole decade and well, guess what I have here..* :) S T - 24 Jan 2014

The 3 toed sloth Rhymes with goth Or is it oath Moves slowly Sometimes algae grows on his head Joni Mitchell didn't mean him when she said Wild things run fast 3 toed sloth, he'd come last Once a week he climbs down from his tree And that's to have a poo and *** Now sloths get amorous But *** is tricky up a tree He moves too quick, he's not used to it And hits the ground involuntarily Randy broke his arm Kind people fixed it with titanium He resumes his slothful days But now he's more careful with his loving ways

(I Could Not Knot a Knot.) My tale is one of tortuous frustration, when two ropes caused me aggravation, and my every effort resulted in a situation that left me in a state of angry indignation! Oh, what a knotty problem I had got, when I found I could not knot a needed knot! Though needing help on how to knot a knot, no one I knew, knew how to knot my needed knot! I had two short ropes - which I’d a need to knot, and which I’d knot together with a special knot, but it never worked, for the knot did not knot, and my knot came undone! I felt such a clot! Firstly, I took the ropes, which I twisted tight together, but still the end result, was not right, for when I tugged, the knot, not only fell apart, but showed no sign of a knot! Making a fresh start, I took one rope, and placed it firmly under the other. This was so easy, I did wonder if my actions should have been reversed, for it too fell apart! Oh, how I cursed! Seems tying knots is not for faint hearts, for any knot, that’s not knotted, soon parts when it’s put to the test! That I’m not a knot expert, you can tell. Truly, my forte is not that of being very good at tying knots, for I do not understand what knots need, to keep them from falling apart! Tying a knot right, right from the start, is important, and that’s why my knot was not reliable, but why I did not understand. Yes, I’ve tied many knots. but they’re knots known as Granny Knots. Other knots are what folks call a Slip Knot. Then there’s the Turk’s Head - a special knot, as is the Cat’s Paw, Clove Hitch,and Bowline. Truth to tell, - none of these resembles mine! Then there’s a Timber Hitch, which is a knot that truly puzzles me, and not an easy knot to knot! There’s many other knots, that need the greatest skill, such as the Hangman’s Knot - a knot that’s made to **** Whilst the sheepshank? That’s a tricky one to see! So many knots, but they’re not knots for me. Methinks of all the knots, the one true knot for me, is the “Lover’s Knot”, which I have tied successfully! Rhymer. April 24th, 2018

See Bass
It must be a tricky business it lingers, hovers stealthily an invisible silence a swift inhabitation the soul awaits to startle the body In a wordless voice it moves from room to room turning lights on spends a lifetime ever longing to be known and heard.

How the soul moves
First you need to learn that they are blocks compressed meaning and solid like rocks individual meaning expressed but combined a new thought is expressed with a suffix sometimes they merge and become other classes of words thus relate becomes rela -tion and added a ship to relate something becomes rela-tion-ship the prefixes un-, post-, and de- , be-,for-, and re- alter words and direction, you see but the real tricky thing is keeping track of the strings of meaning and –fixes, and inflectional endings

A Lesson In Morphemes
Even lions have the strongest hearts But they still fall weak to lionesses, A man’s heart can tighten in all parts It only takes a ´touch´ to bring him to pieces When a man falls weak to his world A part of him has leaped over a wall The tricky phase is to retrieve his part Searching the world with an incomplete heart, The finder of his heart is always his near-God But finders only leave men in a melting *** Men are known to be tearless They don’t cry and in pain they remain fearless, Men are fragile and sensitive Listen to him and see the world in his perspective, Men will live on ‘til the last survivor Because men are forever…
