Short Risk Taker Poems

Cold feet weigh the bantam kid whose ears seized phantom
wail risk-taker jargon of win-or-lose bargain....

falling leaf takes stand
what the hell! both sides showing

With a veiled threat
Donald Trump now challenges the electorate

   A t-shirt with his smiling face reads, 'Miss Me Yet?'
   Mr. Trump, you're a big risk-taker ~ 'Wanna bet?!'...

Release me o adventurer
Wild spirit that forges life into the world
Release me o captor
O mundane cruel world

Your savage spirit lies waiting, stirring, screaming
Release me
I am the wild one
I am the risk taker
The adventurer
It is untamed land I seek
In a world too tame and bleak...

Be a risk taker.
Dance on that Cadillac’s hood.

Be an art lover.
Bring home things you love, and throw out those you do not.

Be a dreamer.
Picture your perfect life, and live it.

Be an inspiration.
Go after your goals, and bring them happily back to your house.

Be yourself always.
Live while you have the chance....

The whiteness of his hair
It shows his age
As agitated as he is
It leaves you wandering
What is on his mind

He is a mystery
What a puzzle
He is a risk taker
What a gambler
He is what he grew up with

The eagerness of being somewhere
Is shown by his walks
As he wore his Jean coat with a hand in the pocket
He is holding his precious jewel
And his plan is to use it

Bingo dice faro keno typical vino
recall of mind, yet but O' no
what have i done?!

Plucky feeling risk taker 
tho' ne're been there ever
doth think economist specs ever wonder
how truth thou art has kinder 
No they never , not of what i think
held by cruel little ring
yet they bolt all the thing
by one mysterious yet ming
politics it is; thou art has force
beyond mans cause 
and so forth i am bound to live under that auth
there it be cause , surrounded by foes...

If I weren’t afraid, I’d do a zany thing -
something that would give my life a little zing.

Inside a private plane, I’d be flown up so high,
then step into the blue and dive into vast sky!

A parachute I’d wear - of course - upon my back.
I’d do this wondrous thing, but guts for it I lack!

I know it would be freeing and such a thrill for me.
No risk-taker am I though, so it shall never be!

Stealthily, he observes his subject, often in disguise.
Habitually, he delves into the opium world, to explore.
Eyes darting, ever alert to details, however insignificant.  
Restless, often bored, his intelligence is prodigious.
Loves the thrill of the chase, an unrepentant risk taker.
Obsessive, compulsive, Watson can't keep up with him.
Closet homosexual tendencies, obscured and obtuse.
Kinetic, his energy propels him onward, until crime is solved.
