Glad-He-Ate-Her

Thrust a sword into my gut;
Save me from this mindless rut! 
Armor, shield- an open field 
(To guide my hands with luck) 
One by one 'til all are killed;
Beaten, Bashed, Bested- Struck!

By Trump Been Bested

By Trump Been Bested

By Trump, we all have been bested,
Then opponents him  they detested;
Like newborn nascent,
And very complacent;
After each of his sins he had rested.

Dream of Many People

the world is beautiful when ever you look around you
but in a dream you get to see and feel more stuff then when you are a wake
but when you do wake up you feel like you where justed about to have the bested day of your life.

Premium Member Give Them a Little Time

      soft and spoiled
         devices well-oiled

      spoonfed babble
         in protests, they dabble

      convictions untested
         by reality bested

      today’s mudslingers ~
         tomorrow’s right-wingers

Malabari Crab

Bet not one of you have ever tasted 
This Indian dish not so easily bested

Blue crabs luxurious in hot savoury sauce
Fresh spices n curry leaves a tour de force

The superb Malabari Crab



Go on surprise me somebody!!

Sunset Dog

SUNSET    DOG



My dog went out today
Over the hills and far away
He went as fast as he could run
To overtake the setting sun

The sky grew darker
And scared that barker
Until he finally stopped and rested
And realized that he’d been bested

Must I Sing

who achievement stand before these people
that he might find his own way
to be more
greater
better
among those
who have transcended
the atmosphere
to be
seen as a star
someone
best
better
of bested
of bettered
in the competition of
wrestling!

Minecraft Pvp

I respawn,
Just to see another dawn,

I train,
Not knowing if something I will gain,

I fight,
Only to be bested by others' might,

I die,
As I wave my finale bye-byes,

Some days,
I swear,
I'm walking right into the beast's lair,

PvP,
It will soon be the death of me

Been bested
Relentless

And I go on I get really strong I just sing this song

Bonded
Redundant
Flattered
Confronted

Hip hip hooray

Premium Member sue is such a sap

Sue’s nine-year-old husky Blue wanted to drive
she laughed and said “not while I’m alive!”
The next time I saw them, he was in her lap.
Driving her Caddy; she said “I am such a sap!”
Her children have all bested her in many ways too.
A really weak sister is my neighbor Sue.

Premium Member He Gave As Good As He Got

“He Gave As Good As He Got” Miracle Man 2/13/2024 On occasion, He confessed, he had been bested. But never, did he feel like he was a bruiser. He’s an optimist, and thinks his opponent just got "lucky". Only a pessimist, would view himself as a loser.

Premium Member God Isn'T In Everything-Yet God Is Everything

When bested hope is all you have left; And your rights have been your wrongs; As you live life, live on; You just settle, your content; Just remember one thing God isn't in everything, and yet God is everything?

Seven Savvy Sirens
formed a formidable fraternity
of pure-passion purpose
for female fatales.

Murder-minded maids
promised patient pursuit
of tensile tangled truth
while warily watching
crafty crook's coup.

But, busted and bested,
dames drink despair
like lambs laid lame
in trickster's thorny trap.

Premium Member Wiley Willie the Wandering Witch

Wiley Willie the wandering witch 
Rides against the moon and gives it an itch
Humans in the house are so unaware
But I am telling you – beware! Beware!

Wiley Willie is notoriously wise.
She has bested creatures in disguise.
We know to fear her in the harvest moon.
If you don’t see her she will snatch you soon!

Heart of Slumber

Heart is mind
Blood is gold
Life travels vein
Souls somewhat bane
Actions are methods
Methods come insane
Ideas can flow
Like Arrows from a bow
Belief is tested
Somewhat bested
Feelings can hurt
Wounds can heal
Emotions can be shields
Hope is to grow
Heart beats may slow
All can have peace
When all can sleep

Seven savvy sirens
formed a formidable fraternity
of pure-passion purpose
for female fatales.

Murder-minded maids
promised patient pursuit
of tattered, tortured truth
while warily watching
crafty crook’s clever con.

But, bested and busted,
dames drink dark despair
like lambs laid lame
in trickster's tensile trap.

Rides against the moon and gives it an itch
Humans in Missouri houses are absolutely unaware
But I am telling you – beware! Beware!

Premium Member Admiring Brother Horse

Paiute warrior horses cannot outrun wild quarter horses.
Spanish mustangs and Chickasaw ponies run past.
Taunting and daring native americans to try and corral them.

Paiute warriors admire the way brother horse runs.
He is outfoxing them, wise and wonderful in his wildness.
They turn back to their homeland, knowing they have been bested.

The Sound of Silence

When I heard the sound of silence
It took my breath away
For I didn’t see it coming,
But wanted it to stay.

It enveloped all my senses
And kept the world at bay;
The world that somehow bested me,
The world that did betray.

It blocked out my uncertainties
And would not let them prey
On all the remnants of my hurt
That time could not allay.

Premium Member Potential of Love Long Gone

Potential Of Love Long Gone

He lusted,
I trusted
What I promised.

Forever gone,
I never ever
Wanted him to leave.

He’s disappeared,
I know there’s no one near
To who he was.

Never will belong to me,
I longed
For the time we’d meet.

He has rested himself,
I always knew
How life, darkness bested him.

Forever gone,
I ever-longed
For me and him.

between cheramoya and jackfruit

To the treasury note i lost with
I was without exotic notes
Taught in hardened testaments for quote
And speak of troubles i would have
Save the bested efforts tilled by young
Haddingstone and young it was
Countered verse lustra’s bugs
From grand ire back long to nepal
She granted means
Leaving no measures
Destroyer of rain
Remover of wash
Sleeping sees
Ossian’s loss
