Rivalry Poems

The Art of Blaming You

i wonder if my sister is aware 
she’s the reason i lost my muchness
it’s like i don’t want to be loud anymore
i want to be like a whisper 
or a gust of wind

i want to be quiet and go unnoticed 
so bad that i tip toe 
and hold my breath 

maybe because i approached it

Premium MemberMandarin Duck and Blue Jay Rivalry

Mandarina duck was bragging a teensy bit
Blue jay heard of it, and threw a giant fit
She was speaking of her crest as if it was unique
I have a crest also, Bart the blue jay did speak

Mandarina duck preened, showing off her black and white trim.
I have that too, Bart pointed out to a cardinal named

Jealousy

Jealousy!
The path to every evil,
destruction, insecurity.
A powerful feeling,
common among youth.
Leading to rivalry and enmity.
Causing spies at work.
Deafening sound of actions.
Leading to broken home, 
and shattered hearts.
Jealousy!
proves it gravity with depression.
Suppresses boldness and confidence.
An enemy to progression.
Making one suffer a great loss.

Premium MemberMyth of Rivalry

Written: August 23, 2023
______________________________________________________________

In the realm where rebels reside,
A vessel of jade, a genre spontaneous,
There lies a poetic rebellion, untried,
A cathartic presence, quite wondrous.

Beneath the moon shattered light,
Where mutated motifs bear flight,
Poetry without lines, a form unknown,
In the contrarian court, it's proudly shown.

From the hollows of madness, they emerge,
Such moldy hay, their words diverge, 
A

Rivalry
             innocuous dispute
             through the spaces between
             the cat and the mouse...

Oklahoma, Texas Rivalry
Miracle Man
6/17/2022

I reside in a town that has a small lake,
growing up, with this lake I formed a bond.
Once, a visiting Texas friend gave me his take,
he said that in Texas it’d be considered a pond.

Next Fight

Next Fight
How easy is it for countries who are friends
To become enemies and go to war?
Like Britain and Argentina in the 80s
Argentina bought British warships
Their crews trained here in 81
But in 82 they invaded the Falklands
We were at war and we won that war
But hundreds on both sides were killed
This is one example of conflict

Between Rivalry and Savagery

The rivalry
             disputes spaces   and fights as
             landowner and landless   
             cat and  mouse

Beastly Betty

Beastly Betty badly breaks her brother’s
Buttocks with a bat upon his butt.
Broken, beaten brother barely bothers
Bellowing at bawdy Betty. But

Because bad blood between both babe and bro
Builds baleful bias brought by Betty's bane,
Beleaguered Bob bestows a bitter blow.
By blasting boiling bile on Betty's brain.

Premium MemberSibling Rivalry

The child was getting tired of being teased
Words flowed from her brother's mouth unfiltered
Had he more vocabulary he'd spew. 
She didn't care on that morning if she pleased
She went to the icebox unbewildered
            milk threw

We all stood in shock, except her brother
Drenched to the

Vincento and Marie

Sicilia, a beautiful island
With a very bloody plan
A few families at war
Murder, corruption and more
Vincento was a street soldier
Marie was a hitmans daughter 
With their hearts full of lust
A secret romance is a must
As they belong to warring families 
With no trust and rivalries 
They couldn't keep their love apart 
As they tried so very

Compare and Jealious Rivalry Arrives

There are many things to gain when we share,
Jealous rivalry arrives after we will compare;
Become bitter,
Then quitter;
In the end, presence has become hard to bare.

The reason is love.
That selfless love and parent’s Devotion,
The reason is love.
Appease or Persuade, Jealousy and Dispute,
The reason is love.
Love for money, love for honey, name and for fame, love for kin, love for friend, every thrive and every drive..Love, Yes! Love is the reason behind every game!

Infatuation though momentary,
