Competition Poems - Poems about Competition

Things, I want things, Give me things, Here is a ring, Let us accumulate things, And compare are things to their things, They are evil, Their things do not compare to our things, There was a man who taught us love, But we killed him with a thing, And when he rose, Instead of rising like him? We built things, to fly through the sky, Things, I...

They were snowy white with streaks of hot flesh From Holland, of course, hybrids with a fancy name We other tulips felt plain and boring next to them Where were they being planted? I stretched to see. Sighing in relief when I saw they were in the next bed. It was bad enough I had to share with the morning...

My blade is sharper, so they claim. And his hoe is blunt. Each voice raised is struggling to rise above the noise, eyeing for supremacy, living to convince, competing for dominance, quarreling to belittle, demean, and degrade. I found that armchair broken and fixed it. The chicken you ate when you paid your dowry was mine. So it goes. But both are travelers. Come harvest time,...

I really must stress, I'm not ashamed of my N/A necklace. We all place in some contests, lose some too despite our best. The literary world has rejection, but we must pause for reflection. A poem one judge may not choose, another may select so don't feel the blues. Our poetry tells its own story, be it an elegy, haiku, sonnet, or humorous- Penning it...

Let's all celebrate Motivate and innovate Let's all have incredible fun The one that will last more than a lifetime Every four years, it is that time Again and again, let's us sprint, jump, run Like happy rabbits, like flying cheetahs Let's us enjoy all sports and the hoopla Let's witness and win the gold medals Many records will be broken It is about doing...

Racists beat some other racists, bigots hate some other bigots Gunman kill some other gunman, thieves deceive some other thieves Politicians of both parties share the views that must divide them But they hate each other madly, cause the people love this circus And they do the show on purpose to get votes and fly away No fanfares for the...
