Ridicule Me Not

 

 Ridicule me not

Though I am the master of confusion

And Entangle minds in maze

I am a mighty ocean of bliss

 After my Queer puzzles clotted like a web

Are logically disentangled

 

Riddles - that is my given name  

Master of mysteries

Teacher of logics

With flattery tongue, so smooth

Like wool of cotton

 

But I am abrasive too

 that is to them who claim wise  

try me with all the adjectives

and find me not lacking

when I get hold one

 

my throws rests inevitable traps

No mind made of mortality can flee it

for will surely get caged

I am the great hunter known

 

Tell me who I am,” my simple puzzle

And I will wear you a medal

 Precious than silver

Fresh from a furnace

Only tell who I am.

And you’ll get that imperial treat

 

You’re not a fool; neither wise
but choose wise

Only come to my garage and service your wits

Ridicule me not

Though master of confusion

Bravo

Golly You are Rumpelstiltskin With tread, you spin out Gold In poetry, you are the master Of confusion and of mysteries Abrasively rubbing your readers With adjectival phrase and wisdom. This poet, a teacher of logic Who throws inevitable traps In simple puzzle to mesmerise Us with his true identity I know you, son of tiger Your name is on the screen A new entrant to the site Who happens to be our friend Brother, I like your poem and to you I say bravo. Good write and best wishes. T.
