Running head-on into reality
his ‘can’t-miss potential’ vanquished Jimmy
~ All that glittery made him jittery
Shout and Holla
Holla At-cha Version
That certain swagg
that charming smile
that cool way of doing
that certain style
I got that rizz
that certain charm
the rizz
the rizz
a star is born
it is my smile
that handsome grin
model style
when I grab my chin
My music please
that's the groove
watch me do
mu thing
move for move
I got that style
that certain thang
I got the rizz
I got the rizz
the rizz is my thang
What are goofy things
Being awkward,
telling dumb jokes and stories,
or wearing crazy clothes
are all great ways to be goofy.
Why are my stories so bad
I never thought them goofy
The lady say's I'm a jerk.
I never thought I was being useless
She said I had a silly grin.
I thought I was smiling.
I admit to loving you
You are ashamed of me
aren't you?
A goofy smile is sweet
unless you don't wanna be sweet.
Why am I sweet anyway
or are you just mean and sour
and repel great looking men
Huh? Come on tell me.
Please tell me why you know
so much?
Tell me why you're so special.
I'm proud and debineer
cool and sophisticated
I got that rizz about me
I got that rizz about me
i really;really do
an alarming rhizz go tell your friends
tell them I'm that great and entertaining
Goofy, nah I'm Rizomatic
This word was created today
the word was brand new.
Remember when boxing was called the ‘sweet science?’
I’m actually trying to forget
First championship fight I watched
Emile Griffith killed Benny ‘the Kid’ Paret
What’s the point of knocking another man down
~ or should I say woman, because now they're also clowns
They say, “Get up, go play the game,”
Like winning’s all that earns a name.
Like sports are everything, my all.
Some days I’m strong, some days unsure,
Some days I’m ready, some days I’m slow.
But still, I want to do much more.
I like to run, I like to train,
But there’s more behind my name.
I’m more than just a sport or game.
I need some time, a quiet place,
To breathe and move at my own pace.
And find my peace, my own space.
I find my spark in words I write,
My poems shine my inner light.
They guide me through the darkest night.
I grow each day in small, slow ways,
Some steps are quiet, some ablaze.
But all of them help shape my days.
They say, “Go try,” they push and shove,
But I must choose what fits my love.
Not every push feels like enough.
I have my dreams, they’re mine alone.
Not what others set or own.
I walk my path, I make it known.
So let me choose, and let me be—
There’s more inside than you can see.
I’m more than sports; I’m just me.
A kraken with red wings
Arrived in town, claiming a talent to sing
Lions roared with delight
Wanting to see, such an entertaining frozen water sight
Tigers seemed all right
Knowing their King was in the spotlight
Showing gridiron might
“You may need a rod and reel
That is how a mariner would deal
With this monstrous catch
In the oceans the fisherman needs to fetch”
Watching the seahawks
Stalk
The fishes
With wishes
Accompanied by tartar sauce dishes
Lions got into their car
Left the motor city bar
Engine pistons spewing flames
Supersonic attitude instigating power playing games
Deep into the night air
A Friday night audience relaxed enjoying the affair
Preparing for a scare
That could turn Jay Blue
Challenging the Canadians ‘are you through?”
No matter which two
Find the winning score
Belting one out having the American championship floor
Always cream rises
Greater than a single cup
Madness embodied
Too vast for this world
Gentle generosity
Quiet tenderness
Bravado to prove
Excellence executed
Best there's ever been
Revelled in reveal
Lionheart magnificence
Broken, the walls fell
Cold steel posts stand tall
Bear witness to spectacle
Squared Circle - the stage
Cyclists outrunning the approaching cyclone
Tour de France quickly captures everyone’s attention
Extra incentive to pedal faster

Forward pass changed the game
Offense was never the same
Overtime rules continue to change
Tackling though can limit the range
Blitzes can really shut it down
Audibles can turn it around
Linebackers can do it all
Linemen are the heart and wall
Silhouettes know they’re loved, day and mostly nights;
When my ball sails the fence, I fetch—two blocks down
And when the dog walks the cat—dragged when she bites,
While ticketed, my name changed to a pronoun,
Love baseball, yet my golf ball, they can’t catch mines,
I’m in shorts and shirttails, she’s dressed to the nines,
She’s in the clubhouse, and I’m in the golf cart,
Begs I, she came; she’s there, I’m here, being smart.
Not a clock watcher, though, I’m told, “You’re still here?”
The wage is great, yet labor can be taxing
Staffed, forty years; polite—but can be austere
Wrote up some, watching union ranks relaxing
I hate writing up folks, or being strict, ugh!
Some tact, less frank, gets smiles, or a shoulder shrug
Double-shift, no-takers, no clock—“What’s with that?”
Worst, are those days, straight two days, I'm left at bat!
He said that in odd years he's fat,
He can't be Olympian in that.
In years that are not,
He can't find the spot,
Or else he'd have gold by the vat.
THE GAME
Here's to the game
of men and their ball.
The helmeted warriors
of winter and fall.
Explode off the line
with a thunderous crack.
Bust through blockades,
and pushing them back
Cover the field,
defend from attack.
Holding the line,
and making the sack.
Advancing position
with power and speed.
Get slamed to the ground,
got no time to bleed.
Flying down field
at incredible paces,
grab bombs from the air,
and off tips of shoe laces.
Giving the order,
making the read,
the rarest of athletes,
a talent to lead.
Engaging attackers,
forging the hole,
protecting their leader,
the heart and the soul.
heat, snow, or rain,
blood, sweat, and tears,
fighting through pain,
attack without fear.
For their city, the peolpe,
their brothers, their name.
Most important of all
for love of the game.
With prowess, and grit,
they give it their all,
for the ultimate honor,
enshrined in the hall.
Offense, out-smart
Defense, not sport
event
shot put
spinning fast
the shot is put
strength
katy l a shining girl
anthem salute swimming swirl
a thousand breathless reps
she mounts again top steps
nations pride nations pearl.
