I was painting pictures today,
Looking as I draw the eyes
Some I think I know; some I guess I’ll never know
Or ever see through the disguise
In the fanciful game their playing
Hide and seek, Peek-a-boo, Masquerade
The tricky toys of imagination
What a way to play with the light of day!
My friend she weaves thin threads into a necklace
It takes her a very long time
On the front there’s a pattern of roses
On the back a knotted mess of twine
In a twisty game she’s playing
Cat’s Cradle on a Soldier’s Bed
Cup and Saucer, a Lucky Tea Kettle
Jackob’s Ladder caught on a Spiderweb
Life is shuffling hands behind the curtain in the basement
The Jack of Diamonds, Ace of Spades
A lonely Queen of Hearts, several dusky Deuces
The bets are forced, the plays are made
Round & round the game of chance,
Spinning odds in motion
With a Blackjack’s Patience, and a Rummy Bluff
Pretty painted cards play with imagination
A Crying Call or a Royal Flush?
I was casting lines to fit my mind into a poem
Inky scratches everywhere
Signs and senses jumbling over one another
Jostling here and there
In a little riddle game I’m playing
Text-twist, Word Blur, Balderdash
Composite catch of imagination
What a way to play with the psychic stash!
