Best Underdog Poems


The Underdog
Black kid with malice as my main 
enemy
Spending time wondering: 
How in the hell did this get into me?
With tendency to be rude
Extending my attitude
Pretending I'm mending
after plenty hours of mixing booze.
The bruise, is just a product of my 
heartbeat.
Welcome to my life. Call it...

Underdog
Saturday mornings extra early I would rise,
Watch as my hero would sail through the skies.
Eating my corn puffs, with you I’d cheer,
“There’s no need to fear, Underdog is here. “

With Simon Bar Sinister up to his tricks,
Dog of the hour who didn’t chase sticks.
You had...

Insecure bullies seek their prey
Prepared for attack
Finding a vulnerable target
To fulfil the worth that they lack

Their victims are not the weak
They are the kind, gentle or unsure
They don’t possess meanness 
That is the bullies irresistible lure

Victims are often described as the Underdog
I believe this term...

Markings of An Underdog
Isolating myself.
I open up.
Start climbing off the bottom.
Without a dollar in my pocket.

Losing track of myself.
Down on my luck.
All my thoughts are racing away.
How could I be stuck?

I felt like I was making progress,
Till I looked up.
I was right back where it all started from.
Some...

Underdog
They tell you that it’s not worth the effort
They tell you that it will never work
Everyone believes it’s a hopeless endeavor 
And that you will continue to get hurt

But you didn’t listen, 
You didn’t care what they had to say
You were driven
To be the best...

The Underdog
Like a beacon shining with eternal bliss
The victorious underdog will always exist
As the true diehard David and Goliath fan
Resourceful as the incredible shrinking man
Motivated by lack of respect and esteem
Never saying die and fulfilling the dream...

The Underdog

The underdog wasn’t expected to last this long
The status quo, the elite were sharing, 
Didn’t return as expected
World order in the balance, at tipping point
All those who were fed, are now struggling to eat
The world banked on democracies defeat.
Ukraine is still standing
Punch drunk but...

Anybody, who is struggling,
Is my people
The one with the color purple,
Who will one day earn and own the ring.

I love fighters, who are not backstabbers,
I don’t like haters or fake-lovers,
I adore freedom fighters
As I abhor bullies and predators.

I love the underdog,
Who works smart, trains hard
And...

Underdog
Our  game show host,
in negative, 
teeth bleaching.
papering the cracks,
with good lighting,
and bad jokes,
We
never
see 
you 
coming.

Fluffed before countdown
but you never came,
your climax is waiting,
any minute now
there is no edit....

Calling Underdog

That day I sat silently focusing my attention to no one
 All of a sudden to my great surprise an ungodly chill came down my spine
 A look at the clock the time was going by so very fast
 The premise of my discovery...

I Haint No Recalcitrant Underdog Among Hoi Polloi
Boot juiced abiding
     by ruff dogma, with joie
de vivre, which oft times witnesses
     me being a decoy
occasionally feigning
     tubby an Anchorite, ahoy!

Life in the K9 corps
     aint so ease...

Underdog
You think about giving up
But then what will you do
No matter where you go 
Life is going to follow you

You think it’s hard to get up
So accustom to falling down
And you get use to the world
Seeing it from the ground

You were not born fortunate 
But...

Premium Member Knee Replacement
you said I was a wuss; 

you said I couldn’t take it.

You said I’d make a fuss; 

you said I wouldn’t make it.

what you said did not make sense; 

you didn’t think I had the guts;

now you’ll  feel the difference; 

with my new knee...

Premium Member Where Did Saint Elmo Go
They said the screenplay was complete 
Filled with scenery and dialogue that was artistically sweet
An entourage was cast 
Star’s children from the past 
Having the marketable photo look 
Picked up after flipping through a modeling book 
It was like an eighties high school affair 
Dramatic...
