Competitive Poems

Premium MemberA poetry war

A competitive poet with ego galore
is always "one upping" to even some score.
They disguise their sarcasm in metaphors.
Most of the time I politely ignore as
no one needs a poetry war.

Competitive Treadmill of Ubiquity

I me 2 

Am fiercely competitive as well

Suppose that is not so much a new

But commonality thread

That bonds us together

Surely makes us in fact human 

Like string flaccidly detached from
an ailing kite

Floating slowly ebbing away on
a windless day

With NA emblazoned in bold capital
letters upon it in scarlet red hue on
the front and BS in brown

Premium MemberAn Outcast

The digital world comes
And an old man seems to become
A social outcast
Using a telephone instead of a handphone
Using a typewriter instead of a computer
Writing a letter instead of an email
Reading newspaper instead of electronics news
Having posting service instead of express delivery
Using a cash purchase instead of an e-wallet
You can't say 
He is left behind in

Premium MemberCompetitive Campaigning Results Are In

Joy for me means that  

You are here where I once sat 

Clutching the reigns  

Playing political games  

Taking over my tasks  

Saying ‘I am not wearing any deceptive masks’  

Making decisions  

Moving into position  

No longer in a hurry  

I do not worry  

Since I

Premium MemberCompetitive Determination

Winning every race, you just may not;
What’s important is giving all you got.

In running the race, you must never give up;
The will to go on, never let anything interrupt.

Premium MemberConversation Turns Competitive

Conversation today took a competitive turn.
My daughter we saying she should clean something.
I talked her out of it, she only has so many hours off a week.
Why do something you don’t want to do?

She tells me that she has a mess on the floor that has been there for hours.
I tell her about my paint

Premium MemberTable Turning Relegation Tease

There was a buzz in the air 
About Astin’s upcoming weekend affair 
A Friday night match 
Where Astin was such a catch 
Lured in with bait 
Wolves prowling looking great 
But alas a mistake 
A correction needed to make 
Someone wanted cake 
Decided to change plans to an afternoon luncheon 
Wolves and Astin hiring catering

Premium MemberA Poetic Peaceful Diplomatic Game For Beginners

Playing a game on a checkered board 
No need for armor and sword 
Only a decisive mind 
Thoughtful strategy and enough time 
Concentrating with a stare 
Capturing pieces without a care 
Characters used straight out from mid evil books 
A knight making hops and hooks 
There is a castle that is called a rook 
Without

Premium MemberPoetic Correspondence With the Competitive Equestrian Digital Magazine

Such a wonderful sight 
A horse going into flight 
Captured in a lens 
Documenting by the writer's pen 
For once  a horse was used for war 
And now has a prescence of peace with a score 
May we continue the beauty of a horse show 
Snickering at others athletic events saying 'what do you

Premium MemberThe American Legend

When pondering the evils of Covid 19 
Does anyone wonder about the number of last century? 
We move so fast 
The great USA with world class 
Give us your tired your poor the lady inscribed 
Our country is paved with gold and that was no lie 
Written word was replaced with audio 
And a screen

Premium MemberMy Car Is Competitive

A most competitive tool is my car.
She really hates to be passed on the road.
Whether we are traveling near or far,
Passing turns her into an evil toad.

My right foot presses pedal to the floor.
Doing a hundred, or maybe a bit more.
She throws logic out the window pretty fast.
I cringe my teeth when a semi dares

Sedative For Competitive

Sedative for Competitive

When you became too competitive
Might need a reliable sedative
That you can always depend on
And after they are all gone
In dreamland will have to live.

Sure seems like our whole environment
is artificial now a days. A few arts here
and a few arts there.

Competitive Activity

We left the camp all hot and hungry.
We were on a mission.
Through cracked lips I softly asked
“Are we huntin’ or are we fishin’?”
Orders said, “Cast the bait!
Use any lures we can employ!
Get your barrels loaded fast!
We’re gonna need hounds and decoys!”
He was said to be flying high.
He was on a majestic flight.
We started on our
