@MalindaBlue (gratitude), @Sweetnote (renaissance), @jamiain (whiny), @jollything (biscuit), @Miragi (sapphire), @coyotesqrl (survive), @benjphoto (paraclete), @BlazingMinds (hippo), @chercroppin23 (please), @wizzardsblog (bimbling), @lejonprime (cryptic), @SurfCityJay (blue)

This poem is about magic and entertainment as an illusionist wows the audience, the word renaissance really triggered the theme for this poem for me. What do you all think of today’s random twitter poem?

The Illusionist

Wearing deep sapphire robes with emerald trim
A man straight from the renaissance stands tall
His elegance and appearance all neat and prim
Flowing over his right shoulder a cryptic golden shawl

“Silence please” he calls to his fans
Young whiny kids all hush down
Amazing dexterity as he moves his hands
Pulling flowers from air, amazing the town

A biscuit turned into an apple, a magical feat
A trick so spectacular did, it invoke the paraclete?
No bimbling performance given this night
As the next trick was quite an amazing sight

Did we just see a table transfigured into a hippo
And blue fire spouting from fingertips as if from a zippo
Locked in chains and held in water trying to wrestle free
How he managed to survive and escape just baffles me

Amazing was that one final act designed to entertain
Some would have considered the illusionist insane
The illusionists gratitude to the people is clear
As the audience stands up casting shouts and cheer

I started to see the words fit into the poem to describe kids at play and I just started writing. This poem is the result. Thanks to the following twitter friends who send me the random words (in blue):

@WebBetty (reprehensible), @DavidMercury (flourish), @wizzardsblog (merlot), @coyotesqrl (luxuriate), @Jan_Geronimo (sandbox), @MesaAzHomes (plethora), @kar314 (snowflake), @Miragi (orgasmic), @or1gb1u3 (monkey), @Dr_Dalek (eviscerate), @blm03 (excited), @SurfCityJay (usability), @darksaturn7 (parachute)

Winter Child’s Play

Playground seeming magical and enchanting to all
Excited kids luxuriate in this constant snowfall

A snowflake falling and caught by a tongue
Orgasmic screams heard, from children so young

Merlot colored truck burrowing through snow
Aura of laughter creating a surreal glow

Sandbox covered in powdered white stars
Glove wearing hands swinging from monkey bars

A fake sword from its scabbard released
To eviscerate some unseen imaginary beast

A plethora of games and creative creations
The wonder of many children’s imaginations

A frozen swing whose usability should be in question
Kids jumping off with their comical parachute impressions

The only reprehensible act an occasional snow ball
Nothing mean enough that would lead to a brawl

Laughter will flourish for many more hours
Then all will go home and take nice hot showers

Bug In A Tank

This is my bug in the tank
Which I have my dad to thank

He caught it for me
Found it in a tree

It can be called a grasshopper
but really locust is more proper

It jumps up in the air so high
I hope that away it won’t fly

It eats sticks and leaves so green
I keep the tank all nice and clean

Speckled yellow with brown spots
Even having some white dots

Finding him was good luck
But momma thinks bugs are yuck

-Poem by Dragon Blogger and Son
