Short Competitions Poems

In the name of 'equity' and 'inclusion'
  Female athletes suffer Biden's incursion

    Backing transgender males in their competitions
    ~ destroying female athletes' ambitions...

My feet could not reach the pedals, yet
I read music at five years old
I played in competitions
I practiced everyday
I loved Classical
Chopin, Mozart
Piano
Still Play
Now.

Enlightenment, Harmony, Hope
will give to the wordsmith great scope.
Competitions are hard
for a poor simple bard.
So will I win this one?  Er nope!

For Russell's E H H Competition....

Creates
considers
 continues
 contains 
communication 
compares confirms calculations of pride and Joy

The calm competitions congratulate clearly

you are unique
like your finger prints
do you compare
comparisons
leads to competitions
competition
extends to cast creed
colour race country
dividing one love
sun doesnt set
illusion we dont need
competitions believe...

Besides competitions;
Besides being "liked"
or my poems getting comments,
I want to become a better
poet each day by reading other
people's poems,
and correcting mistakes my fellow poets
see in my work.
Poetry Soup is also a virtual family-
it is another home for me;
my mind is at rest in this site.......

Marietta is a make-up artist with flare
Does things that others would not dare
Wins competitions from hither and yon
Uses models who love what she puts on

Attended a show and could not believe
Things she will do, tricks up her sleeve
Proud of sis, I raved about her for days
She is now a designer for lots of pay...

Congestions
Occur in the brain
Pressures and tensions
Workloads and targets
Competitions and expectations
Time limits and deadlines
All contribute to 
A serious spiritual traffic jam
With
No by-pass
No overhead bridge
As life is not as simple
As a traffic jam on the road
We have to pay for every bit of prosperity...

My gender’s not the fairer one,
my student status ... past,
mine is not the voice of region
nor a specific caste.

No network calls me “one of us”
nor seeks to mollify,
I'm not considered ethnic, thus
I do not qualify.

The journals, competitions and
calls for anthology
don’t explicitly ask for bland,
old, white-guy poetry....

Cee Cnvironment
crazy cameras celebrate carelessly
cool categories celebrate casually
those the cute combinations celebrate kindly
~
the caring communications celebrate cautiously
so cold communities celebrate crazily
as the clean competitions celebrate cowardly
Those the calm completions celebrate cold clearly

Burning, white heat coursing across flesh
		A honky no longer
Leafy flecks marbling skin like wire mesh
		Relax and grow stronger

Silence attacked by Dolly Parton’s CDs
		A boiling furnace
Darts competitions bring you to your knees
		The sun only burns us

The water is contrastingly icicle cool
		At night the sunshine abates
Trapped voluntarily here by the pool
		Package holidays are great!...

Of course, surrender is individual – 
some accepting of confinement
for war – while others, for love
willing to relinquish all freedoms – 

men and women often confounding the two:

love-making a too and fro battle
of sorts, of who will hold out the
longest. 
           So much of man's nature 
satisfied less by our endless competitions
           
Best no substitute for happiness...

Restoring justice to active global peace
invites far more than redistributing toxic injustice,
punishment for dividing cultures of privileged health
from democratic non-elite societies for authentic wealth.

Restoring multicultural justice
brings mutual peace
as communal cooperativity
replaces commercially commodified ego-competitions
for fertile deep learning 
internal ego/ecotherapeutic powers....

The undeserved man will bribe to get
What he only gets by chance
The deserved man will bribe to avoid
Being snatched the golden apportunity
The greedy man will bride to make sure
What he wants is attainable
The unconfident man will bride 
To be selected, to be distinguished from others
Where there are  strong competitions
There are briberies in various forms
A stupid man even bride God in his prayer
Does he...

Martine
Timid, reliable, emotional, observant
Wife of Nathan Church
Lover of time management games, cooking competitions and giggle smoke
Who feels anxious, determined, inspired
Who needs attention, La Croix seltzer water, and yoga tights
Who gives thanks to God
Who fears natural disasters, highways and falling off the wagon....again
Who would like to see all disease extinct
A resident of Orlando
Lincifort-Church...

How do birds learn how to sing
Never seeming to hit a note wrong,
If they just listen to their parents
Can they ever invent a new song.

Do they ever hold competitions
Or is it the same every year,
And when they're abroad is it different
From the usual song that we hear.

I'm told it's a love call or warning
To keep the unfriendlies away,
Although we know most of their calls
I would still like to know what they say....

What has become as the best makeup for woman?
Her youth, health, nature attractiveness
or just how she get  looked to mirror, repaired  tresses,
how she smiled and turn to glance?
Maybe mystic lied on her way of wearings,
in her fashion and subtle taste

All these things look as extra-precious  
But beauty of soul, perfection of deep knowledge and reason 
beyond all competitions and comparisons   
as a parts of  her grace and eternal elegance....

        Ridiculous, so, inhumane and grossly unfair!
        Does a Trans-sexual think he has special flair?

        Invading swimming pools like humongous whales?
        Ensuring,that female swimming competitions fail?
    
        These are things,not a poem had the chutzpah to addres
        I fnd such topics should neither be hidden nor suppressed!

Young, we started life together but fate forked us separate ways:
Some folks continued while others dropped out at the elementary.
On and on we were done with the competitions of the basic days;
Andrew became a schoolmaster and Aggrey a sly entrepreneur,
Augustine became a man of science treating and mending the sick.
And I became a tottering tinkerer of prose and a weaver of rhymes.
I still wish to know what became of the boys we called Peter and Dick…...

WinLose competitions
evolving
can only emerge from prior ecopolitics
of predominately cooperative relations
transactions.

Prior cooperatively evolving WinWin dominance
is ecologically necessary
and logically implied
to derive anything like
WinLose capital-building economies.

The opposite is not also true.
WinWin cooperations
evolve only as further emergence
from prior cooperative ecopolitical relations,
more resonantly resolving
than WinLose degenerative unraveling....
