Competition Poems - Poems about Competition

They were snowy white with streaks of hot flesh From Holland, of course, hybrids with a fancy name We other tulips felt plain and boring next to them Where were they being planted? I stretched to see. Sighing in relief when I saw they were in the next bed. It was bad enough I had to share with the morning...

My blade is sharper, so they claim. And his hoe is blunt. Each voice raised is struggling to rise above the noise, eyeing for supremacy, living to convince, competing for dominance, quarreling to belittle, demean, and degrade. I found that armchair broken and fixed it. The chicken you ate when you paid your dowry was mine. So it goes. But both are travelers. Come harvest time,...

(this is another throw-back - a piece of writing, from high school, used in my Yale applications) I pound the pillow, curse the clock and mock injunctions to rest. The sun finally rises and its rays slantwise fall through the curtains as I dry my hair. A meal, like a forced dose, we soak ourselves in wasted, nervous...

Life is just a game of breathing in and breathing out. Keep breathing and keep smiling. In the name of civilization, they have made life a competition. Let us take it as a game, play well and have fun all along. Life is not about winning or losing, it is about living and learning. More than the victories, failures teach us a lot...

Mrs. C. held a coffee at her house on Tuesdays. She served scrumptious desserts with whipped cream. One time there was a pastry with oozing...

I really must stress, I'm not ashamed of my N/A necklace. We all place in some contests, lose some too despite our best. The literary world has rejection, but we must pause for reflection. A poem one judge may not choose, another may select so don't feel the blues. Our poetry tells its own story, be it an elegy, haiku, sonnet, or humorous- Penning it...

Let's all celebrate Motivate and innovate Let's all have incredible fun The one that will last more than a lifetime Every four years, it is that time Again and again, let's us sprint, jump, run Like happy rabbits, like flying cheetahs Let's us enjoy all sports and the hoopla Let's witness and win the gold medals Many records will be broken It is about doing...

Racists beat some other racists, bigots hate some other bigots Gunman kill some other gunman, thieves deceive some other thieves Politicians of both parties share the views that must divide them But they hate each other madly, cause the people love this circus And they do the show on purpose to get votes and fly away No fanfares for the...

LIFE IS NOT A COMPETITION Life is not a competition, It is a journey we all must take, Not a race for recognition, But a path for us to make. We each have our own pace, No need to compare or compete, In this world there is enough space, For all of us to find our...

the barnyard competition is ramping up, fowls are in a foul mood. Farmer’s wife brings out some pathetic, wetted down poultry food. Farmer will be by in a second she says, as the competition gets fierce. We know he has a first name, we have heard her call him “Pierce”. Green hen is doing a lot of bragging about...

The thick numerous shoots of grass have come out, no more snow shovels til late autumn comes about. I hear the robins chirp as they tend their nests, wait....the sound of a cranky lawn mower chugging to life from its winter's rest! Quickly, dear, go out and mow before everyone else does! our yard needs to look perfect, 'cuz- the neighborhood spring lawn...
