Go For Broke Poems | Examples


policy writers writing? wrong

journalist hours visit policy budget for all night viability of crime
the next debate was done
uncovering secrets of privacy violations is a job
violating pricacy of secret places we don't no well enough
is a policy writers wrong
for not being elsewhere or otherwise employed at the moment
all sorts of want ads are always awaiting the newspaper reader for innovative opportunity and adventure

back in the california worlds of different people
no questions are ready for the debate
infinite journalist objectives still the fix of debate
fact checking and rumination
all depressing and emotional ruin a despairing lust for life type of loser could want
endless hours of caffeine religion and madness
hard earned madness dealing with perception
too much options in the hidden dictionary lands of opinion pieces
and the like, go for broke and attempt living on a share of a dollar and a quarter in a lifetime
marching within a soul-less abbreviation of the subway ride to dinner, missing every chance to date the thing thats trendy. thats the malicious code of love i live with

Premium Member Swimming For Your Life

life at times feels so hard
so much going against you
everything around you so dirty
looking for a filter to be true

Everywhere you look is clogged up
like all is blocked just like sin
effecting every strand of life
everywhere you look is in a spin

There must be more to life
this echo is heard all over the place
but only in eternal truth, this is found
in the holy scriptures, you receive grace

So get on these swim trunks
whether it's your breaststroke
or even to crawl be like a fish
give it your all, just go for broke

Your reward will be worth it
live for God always forever
leave behind that awful pollution
drink in the living water, now that's clever

(Quote:
"I feel like a fish out of polluted water" - Anon.)

Stand-N-Soak

Docked your own can it tote-n-land home
Locked unknown antidote to amp the mode 
Clamped-n-sewn your stamp will show 
Plan it slow in a long tramp you know
Boat the load and camp your stow
Go for broke to brand a glow
Sold your joke now stand-n-soak
Hold folk accountable and count your table
Don't poke a mountable route make a staple
Flow on ropes tight like cable
Low-n-behold a dangle blame angle
Won't hold me-n-strangle in a shame shamble
That’ll level the bevel playing field left disheveled
Hips shoveled as his groveled  
It’s bliss behold miss molted 
Changes skin manages kin 
Estranges them bandages again 
Rearranges agendas to gain
Free ranges attendance scars remain
Eerie chances dependence hard refrain 
Flee dances of steep step stances 
Weep wept lands won’t weaken plans 
We keep kept cans to seep sunken strands


What a Ride

I'm skidding broadside,
 in a cloud of smoke.
What an awesome ride,
 as I go for broke. 

This journey called life,
 shouldn't be pretty.
Nor laden with strife,
 just keep the gritty. 

I'm totally fried,
 what a wild ride!

Bolt From the Blue

This love once upon a time tasted so sweet,
  Now it's tainted with betrayal and deceit
.
     Shot in the back by friendly fire,
  Trying to get thru to you is like preaching to the choir.
 
    If you think about it, it's kind of funny like a joke,
  It's a gamble let it ride go for broke.
 
    Lying, cheating, hurting that’s all you know,
  What you going to do come time to eat crow.
 
    You never mentioned this is just a ride,
  You destroyed my world when you turned the tide.
 
    I did not until recently meet the inner beast,
  Was not prepared for the energy it released.
 
    You can't think on your feet you don't roll like that,
  Want you to know you are not where it's at.
  
    You turn it up and you turn it on when it benefits you
  You’re a sexual energy a bolt from the blue.

Premium Member It S Not Rocket Science

Cup of Joe
Cut to the chase
Between a rock 
And a hard place
Back to square one
Piece of cake
Dime a dozen
Truth is stranger than fiction 

Cold turkey
Down and out
Down for the count
Down to Earth
Drawing a blank 
Easy as pie
Eat my hat
Go for broke 
Truth is stranger than fiction

Hands down
Happy as a clam
Hard pill to swallow
High and dry
Head over heels
Toe to toe

Truth is stranger than fiction.

And for glory in everything you do

PAIN


Pain wears deep strain in humble yoke,
Ask reprieve plain where hurts spark jokes;
Instruct complaint to bear with fact,
Note how restraint can go for broke!

Premium Member Second Chance, Last Cast

Heads or tails, your first chance was good luck catch flipped on your plate.
Second chance, a line and lure cast by providence, to re-jig your fate.

First chance was fortuitous, a flippant fling to go for broke with no bounds.
Second chance cherished, cautious, circumspect, knowing there are no re-bounds.

First go target and objective, only valued and missed, when cast fell short.
Second go more focused on outcome, with clear plan and path providing support.

Getting a second chance is a double or nothing bet,
That you can win a second time, using what your first chance loss, beget.

Premium Member And the Well Was Dry

Went to the well and the well was dry

So what shall I do, oh me, oh my

My mind's in a quandary, what shall I do

I fear I've run dry, I haven't a clue

Is there some medication that I can take

My mind's in a dither for goodness sake

This surely can't be, I must go lie down

Will try a wee nap, my mind might rebound

Does this ever happen to you guys out there

Is this an affliction uncommon or rare

Will try it again gonna give it a shot

Gonna go for broke, give it all that I've got

So this should be easy, what rhymes with boy

It's uh... hang on... my heart's filled with joy

Hey, I think I'm finally back on the track

I'm saved, I'm saved, the old Jack is back

This smile on my kisser is here to stay

Unless once again my rhymes they do stray

It's a life or death issue so wish me good luck

Sorry about this, for being such a schmuck

I promise you friendlies from this day on

It's all copacetic and everything's calm

Contests: Just For Fun

Winning contests pleases folk;
Losing makes ‘em shrug.
Write a lot and go for broke;
Get that writing bug.

Try new forms and have a blast;
Enter, have a ball.
Nothing wrong with coming last;
Laugh about it all.

for Joe’s I just can’t win contest

Flip Flop/ Alter Ego Speaking

I've just re-read my poem
  of a pessimism groan
and re-Mark ed to my self inside
"hey man, where's yr pride?"
 
"Yo,  Why you giving up?
  before You drink the cup? 
You know you'll never find
  Her again - so grind
 
Yr teeth with  gnash and resilience
  and go for broke with brilliance,
cause if you let Her go
  You may not ever know
 
Why She intrigues You very so
  or why the Moon doth glow,
or why You tingle at her teeth
and what might be lying beneath
 
those Eyes that give You chills
and that heart She nearly kills
  and slays with just One look
  (like tiny tremors shook)
 
So, Hey Man, just see what happens next
before getting too complex
Cause I think she digs you too
That Girl, Kinshala Blue..."
