Lowball Poems | Examples

Descent and Ascent

From time to time I feel low, 
Low in self-esteem, low-keyed, 
lowest man on the totem pole, 
I have acrophobia, I often 
descent to a lower level…
The higher I aspire 
The lower I fall. 
Life mostly lowball me 
as such, my spirit keeps a low morale. 
Maybe I come across as 
a low bred and lowbrow person. 
Conspired by my stars and the moon
My sea always rests at a low tide. 
Shell-shocked by my low-minded destiny, 
My fate and I must have 
a high level showdown soon; 
In the meantime,  
I'll keep a low profile.

Be that as it may, 
My soul is not doomed to wander
in the netherworld forever,
I am the patron of high hopes, 
high cholesterol, high blood pressure, 
and high sugar level. 
I am also a high-strung person, 
But, thankfully not of any highfalutin jargon.
Shy of highways, I frequent 
the by lanes and side streets. 

After the high-handed takeover by Time,
I live a high-pressured life. 
Methinks, now is the high time 
to lay down the highlights of my life. 

From the descent and ascent of life, 
this I have learned: 
Not to gaze so high as ambition, 
And to look no lower than despair.
