A Fishy Comparison
I can’t understand the ambition
Of people who love to go fishin’.
   Outsmarting your dinner
   Might say you’re a winner,
But what when you fail in that mission?...

Premium Member outsmarting dog
Dog stands in muddy wading pool
Drinking this clay-gray gruel he made
He is sitting now, immersing his body in the wetness
Knowing what he intends to do next,
I jump up and make my way to the gate...

Fat Mouse

He has scored three
me still none
He is fat
I, running out of cheese
a little critter he is
outsmarting my genius
this house
not big enough
for the both of us
the battle is on
the outcome
unknown

Premium Member Snap Trap
It’s not for lack of intelligence 
My inhibitor is on the fritz

A frontal lobe phenomena
I’m prone to gaffes and fits

My amygdalae are loaded
A hair trigger set to snap 

Sometimes words escape me
Like rats outsmarting a trap

Winter Walks Away
Winter walks away 
through spring mud 
and melting snow, 
face weighted in frown, 
Napoleon fists unclenched 
in humiliating retreat, 
his Grande Armee of cold, 
ice and wind 
dying on their feet 
utterly depleted 
never to fully recover 

in truth, 
Winter was once 
Emperor, 
outflanking Autumn, 
outsmarting snowplows, 
outraging motorists, 
and quite possibly 
overestimating himself...

Caffeine Rush
Heartbeat fast
Nerves so high
Senses tense
Mind trembling
Darkness surrounded
I’m turning 
From side to side

Blood veins jumping
Thoughts in chaos
Brain running
Stars falling
I’m still turning
From side to side

Time is still
Clocks have turned
Against me 
And my mind 
Outsmarting time
I’m turning
From side to side

Eyelids falling
Heartbeat fast
Nerves so high
Mind is tense
I’m still turning 
From side to side...

East and West


He says he is right, but she has a different philosophy.  
They differ on everything but share the same astrology.  
She's so naive but always tries to be a mother.  
They end up doing comedy while outsmarting each other.

Ready to put up a fight, she just needs a bit of reason.  
She would continue her flow; of course, she doesn't like to listen.  
Only heaven knows what they are about to do next.  
Union looks unlikely as she is east and he represents west....
