One tiny slip of the tongue
decades of good deeds undone
As long as the race is still on
never declare that you’ve won
The winner takes all, all your land, all your money, all your assets.
Assets like you, your family, your work, and all that you hold near and dear.
Winner takes all, all your stuff, like you and all of your assets.
Reading many historical records, we can learn of the winner-take-all wars, the loss of homes, money, jobs, and other stuff and the loss of people by many ways.
Winner takes all, all your stuff, like you and all of your assets.
Wars that have happened throughout time, the losers, the ones that lacked, lacked power, lacked knowledge, lacked the ability to protect, and had no knowledge, lost.
Winners takes all, all your stuff, like you and all of your assets.
So, remember everyone, you can lose, you can suffer loss, loss by failing to value life and assets, and freedoms that we all hold dear to our chest.
Freedom is not free, it has never been free, many have fought, many have died, many work hours and hours to keep us free from harm.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Long time ago, people were clueless —
whom to give power, whom to respect,
how to decide who’s the best.
An idea arose:
the one who reached the top gets it all.
In the end, everyone laughed
at the one who had fallen,
who thought it was all just for fun,
never imagining
that a simple rank would define
the rest of his life — he had just learned.
From that day onwards,
it became a little harder to survive.
Every silent face with a smirk
reminded him of that day — without words.
The tradition carried on for centuries;
it’s now a widely known fact:
you are meant to give way to a winner,
because carpets aren’t rolled for sinners.
One, two, three, four
Hardwood seeds planted on the floor
Trying to get to the final round
Championship bound
Who is your pick?
Cavs or Knicks
Garden parties are always filled with fame
WKRP broadcasted CBS’s Street manipulated game
Late night tape delayed
News wondered if Vietnam POWs completed the trade
Newly launched ESPN, soon took charge
Captaining the NBA barge
Cruising a hoop dream
Love Boat holiday network floated up stream
While Peacock’s spurs shine
Thundering, shaking the western spine
Enjoying an entertaining time
That cannot be declined
Or denied
Since the audience will find
Two winners survive
Not saying their seasonal goodbyes
Wanting to extend
And defend
The scoring message they send
Larry O’Brien’s trophy is for the best
Acknowledging acing basketballs premier climatic spring test
‘We are the champions’ winners will sing
Sporting awarded new flashy rings
Say senora to the winter blues
And welcome summer leagues with air condition that is cool
Dearest winning poets of my former contest
Hopefully you all got books I confess
The tariffs and challenges didn’t stop most
From getting their complimentary copy so
If you have NOT gotten it by now email me
I’ve got a few books saved just in case you see
What Makes Me Smile is the book
If you’re curious to have a look
Or obtain a copy for a sick friend
Soupmail me to see how we can
Overcome fees and challenging times
To deliver wonderful works encouraging minds
Apron
is on
Kitchen
Chicken
Eat fowl
Don’t howl
Wipe face
Shoes lace
Out door
No more

As a New Year comes roaring in, will we greet it with a New Start or resolutions?
Our health should be on the top of our list for 2026.
There are eight laws of health starting with Nutrition.
Then followed by Exercise, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, Air, Rest and Trust in God.
All eight are required for a healthy and happy life.
Is this the year for change and better health?
Twelve months will pass by very fast.
Will we be a winner for better health or a loser?
Only time will tell.
do just one daily
never but never give up
yes 2026 best year ever
(This poem focuses on a defiant refusal to surrender to heartbreak)
My heart may break,
but I will not fall.
Grief may bend me,twist me,
make me ache,
but I refuse to wallow,
refuse to crawl.
I will stand,I will fight the darkness.
I choose to live,
to breathe again,
to find my strength.
The loss is a scar,not a grave.
I am undefeated,
I am free.
she wears many disguises
not intentionally covert or mysterious
she has no tells
her face cannot be read
her feelings are secure
if she played poker, she would not lose
in the game of life, she is a winner
thanks to her exclusivity
and her elusive ways
Chowder from the east coast
Homemade medley of the freshest finest ingredients
Gold medal winners every time
Wordku: 5-7-5 words
AP: Honorable Mention 2025
All that and no cattle
Mi cattle against the
Fence
Big Bear snaring and drizzling
Mounting a cowboys defense
Tame the ego's get
Ya'll selves in line
2 marries the morning
Baby just take your time
We in zone
From the middle
You can toss to the end
They ain't looking
They ain't tryna be your friend
There's someone in charge of
Those things we can't understand
Put the pepper on it
Target out your man
