Hustler Poems

haiku : hiku13 : hustler

  hawk watches him intent
magnetic hustler chases wild ~
bulging eyes fast fade

hustler

coconut-
man gambling his way
walks tightropes
subjugates
gravity, among the fronds
grabbing water seeds

HUSTLER

Yes- hustler,
all dressed in his lies.
Slick talking,
devil tongue.
Loves ladies of all ages,
you watch out for him.

hustler's street
throbbing like a vein
guide chore girl
moist air clings
labyrinth shadows converge
show fragmented selves

Burning wild,
chaos grips my bones,
grinding sharp,
breaking free—
shards of dreams ignite the dark,
I rise through the storm.

A pool shark

Swims with the guppies

Half drowning

Half acting

But full of toy skills at times

He swears he's lucky

To A Street Hustler

Dear hustler, work your way,
Let not others' scorn dismay.
Pray for God's grace, each day,
And your reward will come your way.

But do not kill yourself for gain,
It's not worth the price of pain.
Do not steal or cause another's loss,
Let not your greed bring another's cross.

Take your time, and work your way,
It's not worth it to rush

The end of a hustler

Russell was slim and did like to hustle, but on his arm he packed some serious muscle

Most of the time he liked to gamble, but when things got hot he was quick to scramble

Fraud and deceit is a way to survive, this easy money is what keeps him alive

He hated snitches, but he loved his

THE HUSTLER

He hustled his way to the top
But in an instance, he was stop
Street cops took him down
He lost his street crown
And turn into a beat-up flop

I Became a Hustler

When I discovered marbles can take marbles
I became a hustler
I was a pro
I took marble after marble
Some cried
I rarely gave their marble back
It was a competition
Taken fairly
I feel no guilt

The Hustler President

The Hustler President 
The Hustling nation finally got the king of Hustlers,
Yes, he was born deep inside the village Sungoi,
Born by Hustling parents, he lived a modest life,
He fed on the best natural foods, which he loves today,
A sip of Mursiki and some well-done Sanga will forever remind you where you come from Forever.

The king

Poems About Pool Sharks

POEMS ABOUT POOL SHARKS

Shark
by Michael R. Burch

They are all unknowable,
these rough pale men—
haunting dim pool rooms like shadows,
propped up on bar stools like scarecrows,
nodding and sagging in the fraying light...

I am not of them,
as I glide among them—
eliding the amorphous camaraderie
they are as unlikely to spell as to feel,
camouflaged in my own pale dichotomy...

That there

Pool's Prince Charming, For Saint Louie Louie Roberts

Pool's Prince Charming
by Michael R. Burch

this is my tribute to the legendary pool shark "Saint Louie" Louie Roberts

Louie, Louie, Prince of Pool,
making all the ladies drool ...
Take the “nuts”? I'd be a fool!
Louie, Louie, Prince of Pool.

Louie, Louie, pretty as Elvis,
owner of (ahem) a similar pelvis ...
Compared to you, the books will shelve us.
Louie, Louie,

3rd World Hustler

Steps his foot out of the door with granny’s anointed words
if blessings were edible, he’d have been fatter than North America
faces the day’s task with immunity to the heat of the sun
dines with the wild to keep the oil running
the quest for a better tomorrow begs for a step further
a bright mind, a weary heart,

Hustler

I don't know why you feel you gotta lie
learn to be real - you ain't got to steal
just cause you say - it really ain't that way
doesn't make it so - well you outta know

you think your one up, it's just another come up
here is what you must know, you need a new hustle
cause you
