By All Odds Poems - Poems about By All Odds

Stacking odds in your favour

being easygoing has its advantages
but a framing of how life is processed
helps establish rules of conduct
when relationships are in the making

clarify expectations
say what you mean 
and mean what you say.

clarity of ideas
well expressed thoughts 
precision of words

understanding what works 
and what doesn’t ~
life not a crap shoot
improve the odds
take charge
be in the driver’s seat

Reaching Your Prime Against All Odds

The flower of humility is a prerequisite for the intervention of hope
No situation can nullify a shift from hopelessness to joy
Faith over fear should imprint your heart because 
The potency of unshakable hope will piece the air
Even when life is not fair

Darkness is but a temporary occasion
On this road of life
There lies an unshakable hope.
This

The Fire Beneath

The Sun forgot to rise one day,
and never came again. 
The stars blinked out like dying sparks–
the world went cold, and then...
the silence grew, the stories died,
and no one dared to dream. 

But deep beneath the weight of dark,
inside a cave unknown,  
one ember breathed–not bright, not bold, 
but fiercely on its own.
It had the

If They Had the Words

If soil could complain-
if air could sign,
if Earth could weep,
and if humanity could truly speak
of what it has done to itself.
 
They would recount quite wounds,
buried in silence,
echoes stifled by times,
memories sealed away,
folded within like secrets-
the world refused to hear.
 
But silence is not peace,
it is a storm held in the lungs,
a scream never given voice.
 
And if

She’s pregnant with guilt

Deep inside in turmoil 

Two minutes of lust

Off the cusp

Makes the colour of little Johnny

A lottery must

50 50 odds of despair

She could see it now

Driven out shamed and bared

Little Johnny turned out alright

The odds in favour

He turned out white

Loving husband unaware

Time moved on without a care

Back in the sack

With husband Jack

Blooming against the odds

In the desert of doubt and fear,
A flower blooms, resilient and clear.
Like this bloom, we stand tall and bright,
Nurturing our passions, through day and night.

The desert's harsh conditions test our will,
But we draw strength from our inner still.
We brave the burning sand, and weather the storm,
For our dreams are worth the desert's form.

In this arid

It’s hard to meet someone serious at college. Everyone’s busy,
self-centeredly grinding away at their dreams. So much so that
people tell you to not even try (especially as a freshman).

I was mostly at ease with myself—as a freshman. I had an
excellent skincare routine—it was downright luxuriant,
and it kept me going, through that romantically lonely year.

But we

Against All Odds

I forded shallow waters
I tried to set my feet 
The bottom was too sandy
Nothing there concrete

The tide then turned against me
No footing held me down 
I drifted out of memory
Alone and left to drown 

I'd worked to lay foundations 
In hopes of a someday
But then before I knew it
Got pushed out of the way

I didn't

Number forty seven White House occupant against all odds

Number forty seven - White House occupant against all odds...

regarding President elect 
Donald John Trump.

As a cruel joke to self,
I imagined myself as a Republican
for that one glorious day
voting for the candidate
who clinched the nomination
as our next commander in chief
and still reeling in the heady years
when said unnamed person
graced the covers 
of countless magazines, 
(especially

Odds are on the Cloud

     as the black cloud
     descends 
     on his field
     the fierce scarecrow 
     springs to life…

DEMOCRAZY IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY

DEMOCRACY IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY  

Yea how shall we start with 
Dancing to tune of craze
Walking up at a lever so aching
Dragging with demons all days
Who did we offend, which way

I'd thought of asking for bail
Was only given state of bill
In clouts juggling up in their stakes
Who'll will deliver Nigeria 

Hope promised

Pushing The Odds

Almost eighty-nine and life's still a blast
How long will it continue, how long will it last
Pushing the odds
Testing the gods
Will I still be around when one hundred I pass

lacking abilities needs
aimless future trials~

Totally At Odds

OUR DIFFERENCES ARE LIKE PIECES OF A PUZZLE CALLED LIFE,
that didnt seem so obvious at first, 
but looking back you can expect the worst,
when strained expressions show one’s true feelings,
at a sore point or stray word amid our dealings,
the odds and ends didnt seem to fit,
try as we may there’s just no making sense of

Odds and Ends

A little poem overnight
Awake and still right here 
Past the time you shut your light
My thoughts of you stay near
The dreams I have do not depart 
They never go away
But that's just fine by me sweetheart 
I'll dream of you all day
And night, and week, and month, and year
Until such time may be
That I won't
