Short Outsmart Poems

In this world 
No one is truly stupid
You can outsmart one person 
Or outrun too many 
But you can't deceive 
The whole world forever
What will come will come 
Karma does not spare anyone....

Pete could not decide whether to outfox or outwit
His sister said, “why not outsmart?” That hurt him a bit
Their brother was not easy to bamboozle, fleece or befool
Their mother suggested, why not first try the golden rule?...

D-ecember twenty-seventh, 
O-ne early Tuesday morning; 
R-ise of the sun has begun, 
I-t's time to enjoy and 
S-ing. 

D-on't let the new dawn turn 
I-nto a lonely twilight; 
Z-enith melts the Monday dusk, 
O-utsmarting the darkest 
N-ight....

Let your sight be fixed 
on what is in store for you; 
Odd situation in front 
might bring eyesore in your view.

Be aware of your surroundings, 
the enemy's baits are in place; 
Outsmart the devil's tricks
So your perfect chance won't be put in haste....

There was a man with much love in his heart

Who could not tell the good from bad apart

He found every person nice

Fact that made him pay the price

Was conned by a knave who him did outsmart!

The Moon knows never to gossip,
keeping secrets close to the heart;
Buttoned up tight whispers don’t slip,
nothing pries what’s sacred apart;
Never one with an aimless dart,
brazen wishes know where he stands;
A loaded plan cannot outsmart 
credence the cosmos understands....

Smart calculation

Of the evolution

One who is fit

Will then defeat



One who is smart

Will then outsmart

To the one unhealthy

No chance of worthy



To be in the world

Not strong enough

To take the position

In survival effort.

I say a prayer
For you today
Hoping the devil
I can chase away

His clutches closer
To ensnare your mind
Trying to outsmart him
Failing much in kind

I say a prayer
For you tonight
To put Jesus first
And never give up fight

To be humble and serve
Our dear Lord above
Free from all sins
His everlasting love...

Some say boys are just plain dumb
Others say they are pretty smart
From what I know of them, I'd say you better run
You never know what is to come
Because, the one I know stole my heart
But you better not take my word for it
Things may not fall apart
If it's true love, you can't ignore it
Perhaps you are the one... he won't outsmart...

When will you cover
When will you see
That all you're doing is saving me
Accusing me so psychotic
Using my temper as a weapon
I'll hail to how clever you have become
But never will I fall behind
I am always one step ahead
You're known too well to succeed
In your mission to destroy me
So now I anxiously wait
To see if you can outsmart me...

It’s harder to lie in verse or a poem,
  than it is with dialog or prose

It’s harder to bend the truth over a feeling,
 than around what you or someone else knows

It’s harder to feign an eruption of light,
  or the isolation of being alone in the dark

It’s harder to mislead with a few chosen words,
  than with tomes that were written to outsmart

Across the ocean of a good month I've just sailed
Harsh conditions and turbulence have I endured

Upon the shores of a new month I now tread
When I could finally see through the dust
Good thing to know that you also made it at less cost
That you've gloriously gone through August

So I pray you outsmart the winter
Hope that your everything gets better
Wish that you have a brighter September to remember for ever.

He turns stones to sweets;
cuts people to half without hurts;
removes a dozen rabbits from his long hat.

He is a mystery and charm at the stage,
and outside as he heads to a grocery
or movie theater.

Kids want to be like him;
they watch Harry Potter series all day,
to match or outsmart him.

Well, one thing he has been unable to do
is to turn his enemies to friends;
a trick that needs a lot of concentration
and effort.........

"A rooster crows,
How does it know

The sun is about to rise,
Everyday like exercise

Maybe it’s an inner clock,
Or prompting from a hens cluck

No matter the case,
It’s time for today’s embrace

Announced by this flock,
Who needs an alarm clock

If I would be as punctual as this bird,
I would achieve more than I deserve

For I would be one step ahead,
Thanks to a Rhode Island red

So enjoy your head start,
And this day, you will outsmart."...

((Haiku))
Love seems endlessly
Then stalactites stalagmites 
Divorce comes for sure


((Limerick))
She walk down the isle smiling in white dress
In the courthouse in black dress, what a mess
Lovers dancing on the sand
Divorce and money in hand
Got her money's worth, who laughs last laughs best


((Couplet))
The guy thinks he can outsmart the girl
The girl knows after divorce she owns his world

Do please, your loins gird;
The pest is a bird:  
Low-flying, sharp beak,
It’d outsmart The Weak!  

Plainly take my word:
Leave the grazing herd 
On plains, at the peak, 
Your protections leak!

Scarecrow would pests cow 
And pests won’t farms plough;
In your food-rich farm 
The birds sure means harm…

Try you should Scare Crow. 
I shall show you How:
‘Ugly clothes your balm 
A shirt with one arm!
Their presence pest loathes:
Plants putting on clothes!...

Each week, viewers of the television saw
what was an over-dramatization of the practice of law.
His intensive questioning got many to confess.
The guilty would often break down into distress.
Here the lawyer was in front of a judge and jury.
The questioned were under oath with a threat of perjury.
Mr. Mason always seemed to outsmart the district attorney.
He grilled those who were perpetrators of crime.
How can one be a lawyer and detective at the same time?

the house shines bright, it takes every light

sleep refuses to dream, a reverie extreme

the plan to outsmart, a shot in the dark

trigger for a steel mention, the spelling of my name

directed to a lead core, dead center to each letter

primed for flight, a jacket of lead dares our right

a ripping force of violent heat, to rupture complete

rendered lethal for the take down, a fatal round

chambered by a sniper, posted at heaven’s door

every story has someone to hate
all must rise and take the bait

in the end they always fall
for they can’t outsmart them all

their pride is always their demise
yet in the end they can surmise

that somewhere in the vast
there was a problem they can’t get past

so they come up with evil plans
make inventions with their hands

to destroy the world they detest
which holds the problems to which they contest

they do not want to be shoved 
for in the end all they want is to be loved...

As the yellow-orange  sun  slowly rises
Memories of your class's  fun  flood my heart
Thoughts  run  to your teaching and enterprises

You brought those  tiny  guppies to our class
A creative  shiny  diorama's great art
 Sunshiny  person and dedicated lass

You  lifted  us up when you said
All the  gifted  books available we'd outsmart
Sad you to your death  drifted  from your sickbed      ...

Outsmart the fox
Dream out-of-the-box


Dare to sit still
In-sync with deep thrill


See what you see
For truth is beauty


Voice your sure poise
In soul's profound choice


Wear a bright smile
As charm ushers style


Do all you can
To live a good man


Here on this earth
Create myth and mirth


Start each day well
As happy joy tells


In a brisk wit
Watch paradox fit


Time casts good cheer
As fancy chimes here
