Scars are Trophies
Most of my life I’ve tried to hide scars because they were ugly reminders of things I didn’t want to think about. And a lot of those scars were invisible to the naked eye. A human couldn’t see these are scars, similar to deep open wounds within me. I learned they are not damaged

Virtual Trophies Wife For I
Virtual trophies (wife for I)...
offered, husbanded, and collected
when winning solitaire
Nothing beats that exaltant rush of adrenaline
watching the computer generated cards
automatically routed
to their respective suite (spot)
(after they get turned face value up)
generates countenance to evince a grin.
This heart felt diamond in the rough
gamboling ace of a man
learned to call a spade a spade
soon

On Winning the Race
Don’t suppose the victory was yours alone
The laurels you wear proudly a solo affair,
For in you are the talents of your ancestors
Much teaching from others residing there
The encouragement of your loving peers
Urging applause you received along the way
Those who trained you and buoyed you up
Who set records you worked so hard to break
Be sure to

From the Desk of Kelp Seaworthy
Rosco Adagio, aka for the Cross Promotional
event that was secretly planned to get
rid of reporter hype and fakenews.
Dance floor records was named the
place for the secet meetings.
Due to the lack of cooperation between
several minor league promotions: meaning
their unwillingness to unite and promote matches together
to up there numbers and gain more media
attention, several larger promotions

Of Tears and Trophies
Let your tears of joy fall!
They are a poet's soul's rushing waterfall.
If a great poet, you feel more more than most.
Your desire for mediocre poetry is not your thirst.
Of fearless, true,reality in poetry is your infinite search!
You write for the sheer love you have for your artistry,
Realizing completion~you have no need for an invisible trophy!

Nine Little Trophies
Nine little trophies, all in a line
Polished, statuesque, and radiant
Reflecting the feats that I call mine
Standing together, a golden shrine
To the person I yearned to become
To the person I hoped to define
Confining myself is asinine
I am more than my accomplishments
Time to move on from the golden nine

Trophies of Time
Night tail of the dark leave in light hues
unfolding the tar-mar black sky of the pitch.
When the light carries away the darkness.
Between us, night fades into the distance.
And the Sun glows bigger and brighter.
Measuring the ratio of time everywhere.
Emptying atmosphere thinner than air.
Wining trophies where moments gather.
In rhapsody on warm summer nights
The

Of Trophies and Poetry
No reason to impress others....
They don't care a rip!
It is their trophy they want to win.
As if that was what was poetry was all about.
Simply to impress, and block all others out?
You tell me!
I am at a loss..........why not help other
poets, rather than you be so boss!
I don't want to run a contest~no, not me.

A Valuable Insight For Chronic Winners
Ever wonder what difference it might make
To relinquish a trophy for someone else's sake
Who needs a win in their life right then
When you have a history of getting the win?
Ever wonder what difference it might make
To give up what would be easy to take
To realize the other fellow needs to score
While you only crave one

Trophies of My Heart To Poets
No, are not in any contest found.
It is your comments to my poetry,
that to my heart are bound.
No one comment is better than
another.
For to me, when you comment,
you are automatically my sister
or my brother!
I see great poets here, lying dead
with sixty reads.
Does it take that long to comment
and do a good deed?
What's the big

Glorious Trophies
Gaiety kids bubbling laughter in scarlet delighT
Ladened with trophies of sparkling rusted coppeR
Observing the bounteous man who'd vanished long agO
Rivers of innocence flood the abandoned summer camP
Inside his heart only the old man knows the trutH
Onlooking little kids remind him of his grandson's origamI
Uplifting his blue spirits they leap at bouncing reveriE
Smiling as he hands

Dreams of Trophies
Walking only in warmest sunshine.
Being jubilant to honor, only
His name!
Realizing we were all given different
poetic gifts.
So we are in no way, the same.
Try not to compare yourself to
others.
For you are a miracle unto yourself!
So, you see, whatever you write,
comes as a blessing from the
Man in Heaven.
Seven times seven!
He is the One who deserves the
Gold

Trophies
Halfway through a laugh
and I get flashbacks
of my black past
that always haunts me
I see it everywhere
even on me
I’m all full of scars
my psyche and body
they’re everywhere
they became too hard
to cover
scars from a number
of wars and battles
cheaters and backstabbers
But today
I look at those scars differently
I see the beauty in them
I’m not the victim anymore
they’re no longer
