Gutsy Poems | Examples


Premium Member Gutsy George

There was a German Shepherd named George
Who - on only the best would gorge
If you offered him ground beef or fish
He would growl and cover his dish
He’d howl with a histamine headache
If fed anything less than steak.

Gutsy Moves

Carl Tamayo played forward, 
Making gutsy moves with guard, 
As he well performed and starred.

Gutsy Guitars

Whilst Bruno Mars ascends new stars
Elvis Presley haunts old boudoirs
Second to none
They both have fun
Just strumming their gutsy guitars.


The Gutsy Call

You punish yourself 
for not becoming a naught.
The triumph had 
destroyed you completely.

A seductive purr 
of a surrogate write,
wants to lift your parameters
without attribution.

A vague integrity was 
choking the vitals.
The defeat was within.
You failed to accept the judgement.

Rendered clean after 
the bristled attack, your shirt 
does not show stains 
of slurred concentrate.

The guilt was not the same.
It was the ephemeral moon.
Night was not going to wait.
I was not ready to sin.

Gutsy, Braggart Butterfly

soaring swift and high is brave Butterfly,
believing really he's lord of the sky;
one sunny day, he thinks he is able
to bully an actual full-sized eagle

        who looks to him as a nervous dummy
        with neither fire nor guts in his tummy,
        a pushover eagle, vulnerable
        to assaults, and pretty much unable

to duck his kicks and jabs, his straight and cross;
and so he bravely flips and flaps across
the scared eagle's unperturbed countenance
with haughty wings of daring confidence;

        and when the sky is brightly azure blue,
        a truly pissed off eagle must make do,
        flying long and real tired without a snack,
        with bold Butterfly in his..brrrp..stomach !
