A 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

An 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

Competitive 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

Competitive 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.

Conversation 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

Table 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

A 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

Poetic 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

The 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

My 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
