Pictures and trophies
Of those I love on mantel
Heartfelt memories
Of a Sailor's love and loss
Sweetly swept me off my feet

Ball and Chain

Hostage to fortune,
prisoner of time

Trophies a burden,
 polished and shined

Greed but a jailer,
freedom denied

Hope in confinement
—wishing a crime

Trump Intimidated and Discriminated

Trump Intimidated and Discriminated

Many others Trump had intimidated;
He would criticize and discriminated;
A nifty nerd,
And absurd;
To Self awards and trophies dedicated.

Oh love! you are winner 
                                 And no one else
                                But you are winner

Premium Member Worth

Worth
is a universal currency
one earns by talent and hard work
it pays in achievements and respect
the more one gets those trophies,
the more one stands out from the crowd
to the point
where they become an eternal star

Four Point Ten: Becoming

Mistakes are trophies
acting like hapless failures
when they're treasures

Flaws are enticing,
everything real gets damaged
not struggling with age

Pain is beautiful
if tears become diamonds
instead of weapons

Lets Empower Women

Lets burn all differences,
Lets stand by their sides,
Lets let them make our nation pride,
Lets let them climb the Himalayan heights,
Lets let them make glory runs ,
Lets let them bring trophies or cups,
Lets accept it that they are equal to us.

Bounty of Hell

Banks,
Financial assassins
Firing bullets 
Of insolvency
At targets
Without cover
Raping with foreclosure
Killing with repossession
Preying and hunting
All trophies out of season
Poaching their eternity
From the bounty of hell

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2013)

Dark Dreams

At home, his room was full of pantyhose -
he'd strangled scores of homeless girls and kept
the nylon trophies, each a memory
(reminding him of how they'd begged and wept).
He planned the brunette's murder as she slept...

Is this all?

This is why we think, why we breathe 
Why we live, why we conceive 
To the fault of all
We have stood to tall
We have set it in stone 
Then tried to grow

This will not do
We must force through 
So we don't choke on our trophies
that we made for ourselves 
We must not stop here
Or we will grow no more i fear

Spellin' Bees

Winners collect
on Spellin' Bees.
But studyin'...is 
Tedious, such a Chore.

Trophies, ribbons, 
cake, ice-cream.
Applause for pupils
who place fourth.

Winners collect
on Spellin' Bees.
But crammin'...is
Ho-Hum, such a Bore.

Knowledge, gift cards,
free-day sprees.
Treats for students 
who can score.

Premium Member Shared Ego - Year 2030

Written by Gail DeBole on September 12, 2013

There once were siamese-like twins
Who didn't share organs or limbs.
An ego was shared
Thoughts moving through air
Between sisters Donna and Kim.

With an ego bigger than most
The twins did nothing but boast
of trophies and wins
And spectacular whims.
The sisters were known coast-to-coast.

Premium Member Trophy Obsession

So many trophies she had!
       "Wow, I want them all!"
       Oh my, she was bad..
       Poetry to her, became no more 
       than a bowling alley.
       Where she could score more
       trophies than her friend, Sally.
       All that mattered to her, 
       was to maintain a higher tally!

Premium Member Rubies and Crows

Three crows pecked away the heart rubies
from an ice cream coned childhood dream.
When the crows weren't gorging and preening 
They'd layer black caw over all of the sweet dream.

These three hags, and I, have grown old and bitter together.
Forever taunting from ruby-stained beaks.

I don feathers from a fractured past.
Minted as trophies atop a foamy nightcap.
