Best Jockeying For Position Poems

I think we are in trouble
they are all in good spirits
something smells fishy to me

They smile and they tell you
they "will", fix it this time
give them your vote, and you'll see

Each one is claiming 
they are without question
so far above all reproach

They wave their credentials
and...

BLACK AND BLUE FRIDAY

First – the carbo-loading
monster meal to sustain
the beast that drives
the cornerstone of greed
in mindless hunt for “bargains”.

Next – jockeying for position
awaiting the starter’s pistol
explosion of coupon bearers
storming the gates of ….greed

position, position,...

Early Morning

I wish to capture in some way,
With words, the ineffable
Images, and sounds of quiet,
In a time without man sounds.

Early morning awakened by
The first glimmer of orange red

Across the lake.

Incongruous images blended together,
deck railing covered with
 beach towels, swim...

Patchwork Musings

Vying for order
This square
That corner
One's center

These squared-off life experiences
Know well jockeying for position
Is fraught with chance
Disappointment

Matching perfectly the original intent

Clash with its attracted yellow
Black outs white

One's colors
Opting to make...

But what happens in a country when two sides completely disagree?

We end up fighting a war of words with both sides jockeying for position.
We end up far from a united country...

Mediation

I wish to capture in some way
With words, the ineffable
Images, and sounds of quiet,
In a time without man sounds.

Early morning awakened by
The first glimmer of orange red
As it begins to rise phoenix like
Across the lake.

Incongruous images blended together,
deck railing covered with
beach towels, swim suits, life...

left left left right left
army marches to the sound 
of boots in in time 
like a wall of robots

fast movers climb
jockeying for position 
only to thrill and kill
joy stick of death
left left left right left

a squad makes way
undetected unseen 
to gather intel 
before they are...

jockeying for position
requires a motive
which is a euphemism 
for egocentric desire

yet if our heart
be playful and childlike 
there is no bondage
for spontaneous spirit

save man
all life forms live
as such
in the now continuum...
