Loss Ridden-Out
Contest, Lost, Sponsor, Craig Cornish, Date 6/23/2025
When friends suggested, “Try cocaine!”
Mike’s “No” would reckon choice.
His mom ignored this new campaign;
rebuff became Mike’s voice.
Having seen what crack does to his mom,
Mike felt no peer sway, but still stayed

Crouching Tiger Ridden Donkey
A donkey and his rider were attacked
By tigers leaving no time to react
Donkey said to tiger “Chill …”
Tiger growled saying “I will,”
“You’ll bring us riders daily per our pact!”

THE EMOTION OF GUILT RIDDEN- WE SHALT UNDERSTAND-
~On the boarder of mine mistakes
I shutter I've fallen to the sounds,
grounds of mine beliefs I adhort to
say to the calling screams nevermore
to dream of those the tangled things
tangible things. Sweating bead...of
Perceptional drops of tears sore I am
the emotions of a guilt ridden-humanatee??

Ridden
Where do you think that wood's coming from?
The Earth.
Where do you think your metal grows?
Where do you think those things owned are
The Earth;
and it shows!
Hold on to what you matter
Hold on to what's been given
Hold on to your revolving
what life's been left to livin'
Rare as a child fed given
Rare as man's work hard
Baring a stake

Ridden Hard, Put Up Wet
Ridden Hard, Put Up Wet
Worn down landscape
Ridden hard and put up wet over eons of time.
Buttes interspersed with ravines and wadis,
Vast irregular symmetry.
Clumps of purple blue green sage
To have been seen by the riders of olden times.
Clusters scattered randomly.
A patchwork without design
Covering endlessly to the horizon
Intermingled with beef and horse.
The buttes come in irregular waves

Ridden Rage Rabies Stricken Old Doggy-

a caged old dormant dog drools
ridden in rabies

poor sick little dog
he's hurt and he needs some love
vaccine cures him some

A Graveyard Ridden With Guilt
There's a mist heavy and hard
All around this sad graveyard
That's filling my hart with pain
Thinking I'm the one to blame
For your demise from this earth
Not knowing what it's all worth
When darkness covers the light
After having a huge fight
With the one I care about
Every day I want to shout
Because you left angrily
And it's weighing heavily
That

Limerick: Once a Scandal-Ridden Monarchy
Limerick : Once a scandal-ridden Monarchy
Once a scandal-ridden Monarchy
Took to breeding with Tom Dick & Harry
The last Prince with scant blue
Donned the saffron robe true
Thus Millésime House lost lineage Tree.

Angst Ridden
ANGST RIDDEN
Sometimes I feel there are too many people inside me:
A cool guy telling me not to go to work;
And some older woman warning me
That workshy people are heading for poverty;
And that serious dude always spoiling my fun
With dire statements about health or safety;
And who invited that woman
