Short Fifty Fifty Poems

I asked my heart
Do you love her?
He says love, help, and save her.
My mind wonders!
After all that!!
All that were fifty-fifty 
My heart replied....

You 
would
think that
the chances of 
putting in a USB the
wrong way round would be
fifty-fifty; but it rarely ever is,
my research says easily ninety-ten...

I'm judging the judge judging
He's widely known for his fudging
He won't make a guess
He never offers a no or a yes
He gives a fifty-fifty chance
When he reaches into his pants
You can't say its not fair
When he flips his coin into the air...

Decisions And Advice
Miracle Man
8-3-2023

Each life decision I’ve made,
had a fifty-fifty price.
Made upon my knowledge,
and not some others advice.

By making decisions myself,
I had no one else to blame.
I couldn’t believe some other,
who had no skin in the game.

how can we be fifty, fifty three, fifty two
we were just little girls
sitting in a circle on Sundays
kittens hidden under our dresses 
their mama
mewing to find them
giggling in our safety
my breath catches
when I know
one of us will die first
will I have to look at you in the coffin?
God Help Me...

Fifty Cent, the rapper, sang
“Get Rich or Die Tryin’.”
Fifty-fifty: half a chance.
Over fifty:  dyin’!
Golden is one's fiftieth anniversary.
Soft porn: the "Fifty Shades of Grey" Trilogy.
“Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover,” “Fifty Dead Men Walking,”
Fifty stars for fifty nifty states. Time to stop talking!

You have clearly lost

so here is what I propose,

let us find a middle ground,

let us make a deal,

let us meet halfway,

let us play ball,

let us go fifty-fifty,

let us give and take...

You mean compromise and not concede,

Exactly, and in return, there is an acceptance of equal terms,

Agreed--indeed, agreed.

Its my poem I'm judging
You might say I'm biased
I won't make a guess
I'll never say good or bad
I'll reach deep in my pocket
And give my poem a fifty-fifty percent chance
You can't say its not fair
To give this coin a flip

Fifty foot waves cradled the old wooden boat
A doomed speck held on ocean gale breath
About to become splinters at any moment
Hurricane forces understand fragility
A chance for destruction is an option
Two bearded men tumble about on deck
Exchange stories about death
While going over board 
Fishing expeditions are unpredictable
Meteorologists called for a fifty percent chance of rain...

fondue's folksy fiendish foolish fiery Phoebe
fondly followed foppish fish foraging fibster Fee
ferocious foggy falls focus folklore fancy-free
fifty-fifty finnish fish foisted fiddle faddle fantasy
foolhardy footprint festered foofaraw foxy
feuding French fowls feverishly fighting fibster fee
fortunate footstools fostered finished folksy Phoebe
folly of finding feverishly fertile f-words is forever up to me....

Listen to poem:

break a wishbone
you end up with the small half of the split

it's suppose to be fifty - fifty odds 
still we all know a very few of the people 
a teeny weeny portion of the population 
own the lion share of all the wealth

like bats without radar 
we fly blind
spend our days 
dreaming 
of the larger piece 
of the wishbone

here's the rub 
the turkey's already been skinned clean

AT TENS
At ten listened to all
Saw them all
And did none at all

At twenty I didn’t listen at all
I saw one but not all
I cared the list about all

At thirty I pinched my ears
Listened to one
And worried if he cared at all

At forty I blocked my ears
Everybody spoke
I wondered if I cared at all

At fifty I was fifty
All was fifty, fifty
I was fifty after all

And now all I know
And care about
someone’s been guessing my age...

Back sixty-six years ago my mother has told me
That she and I had a fifty-fifty chance to be
And yet doctors don't know all God's plan for our lives you know
He has gven some of us gifts to tell and some of us to show
My mother is one who has shown God's Love over all these ninety years
God has Blessed me to witness her Grace, Love and Beauty without any fears
Throughout the years her Faith has never waivered
For we both know we are Blessed and Highly Favor...

An open heart of wonder
an equal part of sorrow
if given life upon breathing
then life is worth living

as today follows through to tomorrow.
sadness will wake this holds true
and everything you dream of
lie but a heartbreak away

if given a chance 
do dare  take it
choices pose two ways
for life is mere a flip side of death

and even in the shadows, you will know
which or what to choose.
It`s just a game of chance, after all 
life is fifty-fifty at best!…...
