There's a Lotto Losers Here
During the COVID lockdown,
"Yours Truly" became "Spend Cast"
All those stimulus checks...Gone!
Now, just figments of the past.
I bought way too many Sox,
I bought way too many Shoes
I bought way too many T-shirts
I think I caught "Consumer Blues!"
Bought a lot of funny Hoodies,
And bought "Six" Damascus Knives!
Bought Boxers by the dozen,
Oh, how would my funds survive?
If

Are you a member of The Midnight Losers Club
A piece evoking heartbreak, initiation, and resilience through friendship.
Relating to a club which may not exist in the literal sense, but exists in the spiritual.
A club for those who have felt broken, but lifted by others who have probably been through the same rituals linked to heartbreak.
Title.

A losers reflection'
In the world of control..The scheme goes like
This..theres always a 'HIGHLIGHT' on what
You might miss? What might be taken.? What
You can save.? In 2020 the theme was really
Hard played.' You might loose your life? Or
Your standing with friends.' It was first to the
Lifeboats ' Do you remember 'the trends?'
What might you loose? Well

Have you been a member of The Midnight Losers Club?
Christmas can be a hard time for many.
Especially those in The Midnight Losers Club.
If you are, surround yourself with great friends and you'll be ok.
Salute.

Went through the initiation
Got my heart broken in two
Took proof
Showed them all on the big

Reformed Losers
Every word I write
must be right --
written to the best
of my ability; my
product of honest
thinking
Not a word penned
while blinking
To be perfect, is to be true
To be flawless is truly to
be you.
Every hope and aspiration
should be contemplated
with invested determination
Without driving will
there is no achievable way
(make every gambit
a fully invested play)
All winners are reformed
losers.

Let The Olympic Games Begin
Let's all celebrate
Motivate and innovate
Let's all have incredible fun
The one that will last more than a lifetime
Every four years, it is that time
Again and again, let's us sprint, jump, run
Like happy rabbits, like flying cheetahs
Let's us enjoy all sports and the hoopla
Let's witness and win the gold medals
Many records will be broken
It is about doing

But Winners And Losers
I have no regard
for other poets
how could it be other
As they conscript
the words away
of which I’ve not discovered
A battle royal
zero sum
as phrases block and parry
The winner left
his voice reclaimed
— the loser most disparaged
(The New Room: February, 2024)

Childlike Love
Mercy dragged fate around our alley,
a path taken before, failed, but who cares ?
two lucky losers,
who determined the ending,
in the precipice of nothing.
you and I were children in the world,
non-existent in love stories,
to keep you crouched, easier for me
unaffected by the flow of gossip.
Satiety in you
Time never promised,
my being enjoyed you even in sleep.
But,

Winner and Losers In Life
In regards to this game or so called thing we call life
Technically I haven't lost as yet
But on the other hand I certainly as hell haven't won
And although I am over 50 now its not full time just as yet either
As we are now just merely moving into overtime
Because if anything life thus far

Game On
Place your bets, you’re just in time
for the game, the fix is in.
What a thrill. Is it a crime to cash in?
The winners do, and that could be you.
You’ll be a witness, as wise guys smoothly step in
- it’s basic greed - and never a sin, as long as they win.
