Participators Poems | Examples


Premium Member Resolutions

Resolutions for the new year serves up zero interest to many

Endurance and resolve are twins required for real success

Settlers and softies should never undertake major resolutions

Off to the races in January and way off the paces by April or May

Like it or not, resolutions are not for the weak and faint of heart

Underachievers may not be finishers, but they too should be proud

The starters, even if failing to finish, are better off for having tried

Imagine where any of us would be if we never attempted to achieve

Observers and spectators stand on the sidelines, but not participators

Navigating life successfully involves winning and losing, giving and taking

Some inventors and explorers accidentally discover what they were not looking for

Premium Member Observance of Strange Earth-Dweller Behavior

This is our observed phenomenon report.
It appears the earth people have a strange sport.
They swing a wooden stick at a horsehide sphere.
When it goes over the fence, it’s “outta here”.
Move counterclockwise on a diamond-shaped field.
Numbers on the scoreboard, a “run” is the yield.
This is a strange earth custom that’s revealed.

To athletic men, this is a profession.
People pass through turnstiles in a procession.
One hundred and sixty-two times each season,
men wearing numbers participate.  What’s the reason?
Non-participating “fans” are spectators.
Sounds can come from the non-participators.
Each can sit and cheer while watching in their seat.
One team has victory, the other defeat.
These actions all occur in the summer heat.
When the home team loses, they make a “boo” sound.
This is indeed strange behavior we have found.
