Best Fair Game Poems

So many times you’ve shuffled the deck,
I don’t know which card will turn up next
So many times you’ve poisoned the well,
I don’t what lies you’re going to tell

It’s not fair --
Your keepin’ us all in the dark
It’s not fair --
The snuffing out of every spark

So...

It doesn't matter who you are,
A woman or a man,
A starlet or a super-star
Or just another fan.

You may be straight, you may be gay,
You have the right to speak.
Don't mind what evil people say,
We all were born unique.

You may belong to any race,
Believe in any...

There is this guy of 'Poetry Soup' Fame
Ran a contest with 'I just can't win' Name
Because he will not count past three
Ninety seven losers there will be
Guess i will just have to be 'Fair Game'!

Mischievous Puck, 
your flower has once again struck
where it should not. 
Beguiling the eyes and the minds to love those 
that they should not. 

Oh! Wicked Robin,
how dare you convolute something
so precious into a farce.
Making my love into your game
with players to take me down....

Fair Game
I am The All-Mighty, The Ever-Exalted, The Supremely-Eternal.
To me belongeth the universes, the heavens, the earths, what dwells in-between.
Jinn and Men, I have created, for a sole purpose; duties internal and external.
Worship, glorify, bow, and prostrate before me, but no other; ever-more-pristine.
Revere the sacred...

If it's a fair game all can win.
If it's a fair game the running 
and sweating is equal
and the results can be timed.
If it's a fair game, when the clock runs down,
no miracle is asked or given, no tricks unveiled.
If it's a true game,
a zero...

Fair game she is not

By another she's been caught

Yet her smile sets me free

For a never ending fantasy

When by chance we would meet

With a gentle kiss she would greet

Then with an easy tug

Comes a deep and strong hug

Then on more she would insist

No way I...

No book of rules guidelines incomplete
Love tastes bitter and yet so sweet
Tender strong caressing and kind
Love them and leave them far behind
Emotions devotions words from the heart
Symbols of love always the start
But tears and promises accrue in a mass
Broken and tallied the list grows so...

I want it like a fair game
Don't take roles for just fame
There's more than just a great name
Your excuses are just so lame

I want you to play 
fair game.
A fair game!

Huge commendation
enriches deception
Oh you love to trick
two eyes blindfolded
But I am not impressed
how you move
You...

POEMS ABOUT POOL SHARKS

Fair Game
by Michael R. Burch

At the Tennessee State Fair,
the largest stuffed animals hang tilt-a-whirl over the pool tables
with mocking button eyes,
knowing the playing field is unlevel,
that the rails slant, ever so slightly, north or south,
so that gravity is always on their side,
conspiring...
