Best Outdoing Poems

I want to live
Not to focus on the end
Or on ENDING it
Not to see what’s wrong but right
Try to see beyond darkness to light
I want to try to dry my tears
To think of the coming years
To make a mark
To be strong
Not give up the fight
I...

Follow me and walk down an avenue of Firs
To my Log Cabin you'll view, I'm sure you'll concur

Overlooking Loch Ness, look in the fields you'll see
A herd of beautiful Reindeer roaming so free

But it's when you look around, my world glistens
It started by walking to...

So many, maybe millions
No, billions. Trillions?
Of stars, a quiet, hot snowfall
of white stars; sandal season squall.
Each birch tree here outdoing 
January's record accumulation.

Weeks of hour after hour after hour
upon day upon day upon day of
birches' burstings into snow tears
seed of children as-yet unrooted,
unsown, ungrown, unknown.

This small island civilization,
its empire was the largest creation,
with the widest trade connection,
there are mixed views of our colonization.

Many modern countries exist because of the British,
many justifiably say our actions were most brutish.
Some have hate for us and at the same time cherish,
a widespread view...

All thanks to William Wordsworth, one of our greats

I wandered in my kitchen round
floating high on cocaine broaches
all at once guess what I found
a nest of golden cockroaches 
inside the stove, beside the fridge
singing and dancing on every ridge

Continuous gold in costumes fine
eyes a-twinkling; ...

after all the idiots who followed Camping
found themselves up ****’s crick
after May of 2011 &
after all the morons hoping & “praying”
that they would get a “get out of life free” card
with the ending of the Mayan calendar 
just a little more than a week ago,

Imagine the most successful version of you.
Imagine something that can actually come true.
Imagine all that success and what it would do.
Imagine all the failure that you plough through.

Imagine that dream job or successful career.
Imagine a life partner you love more each year.
Imagine your children you...

Inflation rages
       Outdoing wages

       Stock Market tanked
       Stench from DC stank

This life ain't right, so I'll just dream on/
Of you, our sex is on fire, I'm a king of Leon/
With you everything is just so in sync/
don't wanna miss a thing, so I don't blink/
My heart skips a beat, writes a rhyme, and bleeds for...

Survival is a progressively efficient viral machine outdoing all competition. 

Survival is an effortless, yet taxing, mediocrity sweetened by gratification.

Today Survival is a swirl of societal expectations, social roles, all learned precepts pressing against a cruel animal-istic cerebral, itching to be free. 

A repetitive monologue...

love is tender, love is kind
it's the magic, hard to find
love means sharing,all your fears
sometimes it makes you shed tears
love is to fulfill your dreams
it's eternal , never it gleams
love is the sense, to endear a soul
a virtuous passion,aspired to extol
love knows no boundaries nor...

RIVER
 ———————————- 
My trail comes to face a wide river
With no bridges to be seen under these
   evergreens —
Outdoing one another in height.
No rustling leaves underfoot:
The pines let fall their needles
For years and years, so
I walk over a padded bed of silence
Laid thick...

Many years ago, the thrill of traveling was
special to us, mostly in the summer months.
We planned to visit sites never seen before-
			                  outdoing last year's joy.

To Turkey, Mexico,...
