Best Losing Streak Poems

I found myself in darkened days
The forecast then was looking bleak
No matter how I tried it seemed
that I was on a losing streak

Well, losing may not be the word
but life had simply gotten dull
No light could ever penetrate
the gray clouds whirling in my skull

On one...

I sat on the couch on a dull afternoon in deep thought,

The meaning of my life I genuinely sought.

As time hastily passed by,

I began to suspect my actions to justify.

 

Sadly, I never made use of my time,

My life had a very boring rhyme.

The reason...

After a solid decade of what can only be described as the worst of luck.
I've grown accustomed to living a life of pain and misery.
Fearful of this new uncertainty, again left helpless and unaware
Although uncomfortable and confused, I continued onward with my life.
The diagnosis is...

The lonely sad face sits alone; the ignoring happy faces talk
And though the gloomy sad face roams, the happy faces puck and laugh
The shaky middle aged mind they find inside will align with the sad face’s terrible pain
The sad face is alone, crying
The sad face...

The smell of hot dogs, fresh grass, and stale beer
A constant dull drone from the Bleacher Bums
“Take Me out to the Ball Game”, sung aloud
Infield raking dust, by busy grounds crews

Seventh inning stretch at old Wrigley Field
Ivy covered walls, with a losing streak
Uniforms with faces...

You can break a promise, break a toy,
Break a rack in pool;
Break a tennis player’s serve
And even break a rule.

Break a horse to saddle up;
Take a break for lunch.
Break a glass (at Jewish weddings);
Listen to it crunch.

Break a habit, break a heart,
Break your back by...

The dice always lands on that zero
And what are the odds, zero
Even so, why bother?
Because luck is an illusion
Luring us the losers to confusion
With false hope, living us bitter  
Stuck in this infinite losing streak 
That you so badly want to break
In this game...

Even as a seasoned, no,  jaded, 
pub folksinger,

      he still feels quite queasy about 
      night crowd temper;

               at times...

I thought that I loved you 
That you loved me back 
But love is an elution
Minds greatest trick
I tried so hard I swear that I did
But I was on a losing streak
No you just did not see all that
We could have been
You just saw all...

With open arms, I enter this space
A chance to explore, to discover my place
To wander down a path of words and rhyme
To unlock my soul and let my thoughts climb

The sky, they say, is the limit we seek
But often it feels we're at a losing...

No man is an island they say
Still, amidst this crowd and noise I feel lonely
I badly want someone to talk to 
But words don’t come easy 

Millions of things are running in my head
But my lips find it hard to utter
As I tossed and turned...

Our team lost today
  lost yesterday too
the game before that
  the one prior to that too

Seems they're on a losing streak
  Is our team really that weak?
Or are the others too tough
  and ours a creampuff?

Whatever the truth, I'm loyal still

Bunny Boggins was a brilliant batter for sure.
He hit home runs that were the team’s big cure.
Until he came along, they had such a losing streak.
He is up at bat right now; don’t make a squeak!

You mean he cannot bat if you make noise? Someone...

Tell me, my friend, when can I send 
My spirit gently into that good night? 
How many times do I have to die 
Before I get it right? 
Every car crash, train wreck, 
Overdose, misstep, 
Splintered bone, rug burn, 
Danger zone, poisoned cup, 
Open sore,...
