Best Everyone Wins Poems

Two little sparks
enlightening the dark

(tidal waves tugging on the heart)

One named Amelia, the other Aurora:
Completing the scenery --- fauna and flora.
But Borealis, she has no stake in the matter,
for she is just a melancholy rainbow
in comparison --- to the flames that ignite
your very being ......

Roses are red.
True love is rare.
My love for you is eternal
i swear.

Love is a battle.
not everyone wins.
but those who do
are freed from their sins.

Most of them don't get that far
as not everyone can jump over the wall.
All is fair in love and war.
but isn't love...

Letter to a novice poet:

(What modern poetry is for me)

Welcome to the family of budding poets, who pen passion and
meaning or anything life holds for them. Enjoy. Buds will sprout
and blossom over time. No buts involved. ‘Only’ your words.

For me Modern Poetry Means:

Modern: Mind’s Omen...

I thought I should take a moment or two,
to thank Poetry Soup for all they do.

My mind’s like a cauldron of swirling stew,
it’s filled with thoughts I want to share with you.

It was a year ago I found this site,
a place where a poet can...

Soccer ball made from granola, dried grapes
Honey, brown sugar, oats, sunflower seeds
Almonds and chocolate chips form the ball that is fun to
Play the soccer game where everyone wins and the goalie eats the ball.

Eleven comedic players on each team want that
Soccer ball running after the...

When you are a politician, they all want you with fruition 
if you were a great magician you would wave a magic wand   
When you are a politician you have to watch your diction 
if you want to achieve world peace you got...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 

There’s a new kid in town in DC
With an old and tired philosophy
To make everything free’s what she says
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 

With a theory of life adolescent
In which everyone wins prize and a present
You should not need to work, so she says
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 

Let’s...

Everyone wins a free ticket.
There's always another draw.
Some will be drawn to the next wicket,
with those who have plenty to craw.

All of them saying the draws fixed.
Still; they stay in for the hope.
None of them knowing just who's nixed
that everyone's feeling the dope.

One lucky winner...

ROUND TRIP TICKET
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS




The light appears, the march begins
Pathways strewn with virtues and sins
Fate points a finger at whom he chooses
Everyone wins, no body loses

Something for uses, lame excuses
Nobody wins, every one loses
Light is fading, running out of time
Voyage over, it’s the end of...

TGIF

Tick tock goes the clock
Sometimes fast sometimes slow
Especially Fridays ergo

With great anticipation 
The game begins 
When it hits five everyone wins

Until then our minds tend to wander
In that moment of reckoning
The weekend beckoning

Of the things to explore 
When we head out that door 
Having just...

Cultural ownership,
disproportionately lavished upon kings,
the occasional ecopolitical queen,
white male Republican Senators,
elite corporate CEOs
overdriving inside monocultural management
feeding consumer acquisitive appetites

Leads to cultural entitlement

Elitely leads to cultural appropriation,
where I win appropriate proportions
at your loser disproportionate misfortune,

And,
sometimes to multicultural creolization,
where everyone wins Golden Rules
co-arisingly together....

Below the gray blah canopy
Suffering from bad attitude
and seasonal psychosis
The human race sprints
No finish line required
and Everyone wins gold
Music blaring
Bikini tops daring
Exposed guts not caring
Rooftop gogo dancer staring
At me
Ok, maybe that's vice versa
Its a poolside, post-graduate MTV Spring Break
Some of us much more "post" than...

For weeks now a battle has been brewing,
Between The Temptress and The Sonnet Man,
About whose power of seduction can
Create the most excitement when wooing.
Proving that we know what we are doing,
We collectively came up with a plan,
Giving the final judgement to the fans,
Who have been...

“The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience".  Mahatma Gandhi

“Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the...

inhaling pure helium

pursed their lips blew for first prize
