Popular Ambition Poems
Beautiful Hunger
by Stewart Watkins

Stealthy and assured the jaguar lies in wait
With hungry eyes, it patiently sits and salivates

Hungering and waiting...
Calculating and preying

For that golden moment of truth
Heavy breaths speak of a desirous sooth

Breathing and scheming...

A perfectly ordinary man
by Peter Quitadamo

In a story as old as time
A perfectly ordinary
Man
Wanted to be anything but.
Everyone knew he was perfectly ordinary.
He woke up each day in a perfectly ordinary
House.
He drove in a perfectly ordinary
Car
To his perfectly ordinary

Leave
by Stewart Watkins

Packing, picking up, and heading out...

It's time to see what it's all about.

Walking away from a familiarity and into the unknown

Now, this may sound a bit foolish...

But perhaps it's just schoolish.

a hundred people
by Mishka M

i am a hundred people at once,
a poet, a painter, a dreamer—
and i can’t remember which one of them is mine.
each morning,
i wake up with a new ambition,
a new hope to be something different.
but by the time the sun sets,
i’ve forgotten what i wanted to be,
because there’s always something more
pulling me in a thousand directions.

The House of Fame
by Richard Randolph

Soon afterward, the large doors closed
and it was very dark, and I was cold.
But I could still hear the music playing
and see people dancing on a moonlit balcony.

"A bridge that leads nowhere."
by Dylan Wu Rong

Maybe it was too huge of a dream,
a fantasy that I desired deeply upon,
poured out my heart completely,
bare and naked for all the eyes to see.
and amidst those blinking pupils,
were those of beast never seen,
monsters that did things insane.
Yet, blinded by my desire, I was blind to the truth around.
The earth stopped me from moving, but I leaped across and went,
the wind held me back, yet I fought until the end,
