Soaring and flying high
Not any bird or a spy
In human hands do I tie
Trying to compete up high
I am the kite …do hold me tight

Do flavours not compete I retort

But it's not a game you play!
Which one to eat I say

Franz Petrer Schubert of Vienna
had little success with genre opera
Theatre&orchestra was more up his street
with his songs few can compete

You seemed like such a good group
That I bravely entered the loop.
Now my mind works in meters 
And couplets compete as
I O.D. on Poetry Soup!

Jealousy of Light and Shadow

He doesn't know
How lovely he is
But I see
How shadow and sunlight
Compete for him
Jealously-
I see
How shadow caresses;
How sunlight kisses
His cheek

Blue

The blue of the sky
and the blue of the ocean
tried to compete with
the sapphire blue of your eyes,
but failed,only I know it!

Plant More Violets

Shrinking violet shrunk away,
Embarrassed by her small display,
One lone violet can't compete,
Against large petals not discreet,
More of my kind could save the day.

In Dreams

so easy to find
anyone
to meet with,
to speak with,
to agree with,
in order to win
to compete with
even to sleep with;
hower, none is  
inscribed on a megalith

Premium Member GAME TIME

Hickory dickory dock
Three mice climbed Grandfather’s clock
Grandpa struck one…
The others could run
and
Clearing concussion protocol
Will compete again next Sunday

Premium Member cannot hope to compete

Superman is virile, handsome, and powerful
confident enough to wear tights and a tiny red cape
regular men cannot hope to compete
they nurse their beers and change the channel

Souper Bowl

From here to there
and everywhere,
the poets write
we take delight,
from creative minds
in poems we find
of every kind.
A souper's treat,
as we compete
for your attention.

Premium Member Halloween Moon

As revulsion and fear rush to compete, I'm unable to clear my heart of dread. For while I’m locked in a crypt on a dare, a Halloween-Moon; resurrects the dead.

Tiger Takes To the Woods Tiger Woods Cont

TIGER TAKES TO THE WOODS

Tiger’s coaches are to blame
If he isn’t on his game
He’s too lazy to compete
And too proud to take defeat.

Clinics have become his style
Fans pay big for Tiger smiles

Considerate Cascades

Curious chrysanthemums curate chances;
Crack crazy cases creatively;
Climb creepy cliffs;
Conquer crafty creations;
Compete competencies;
Challenge complexities;
Crown

The Germans take great pride
In long words measured by the clock
But can they compete when vied

Premium Member Blushing Blue Ribbon

Enter
in a hue
pulled from a rainbow
the blue roan 
in a garland of blue roses
setting a tone
for the sky alone to compete

Premium Member Finally

The FINA ruling makes such sense,
I first assumed it was the Bee:
Transition by the age of twelve,
Or swim the “open” policy.

Trans swimmers will no more compete
In women’s races deemed elite.

A confirmed landlubber is my friend Pete
  At water sports my friend Pete can't compete
    Once he tried on some skis
    Almost drowned in the sea
  Going rafting? ~ Batten down Pete's aisle seat
