Poetry Lessons
The first time I received a 1
a smile was pasted on my face,
the sun arose in my dim heart
and a sleeping poet woke up.
The sponsor became my Favourite.
The first time I received a N/A
I figured there was a mistake.
The poem was just too good, you know?
In disbelief I lost my sun.
The sponsor became an idiot.
The first time I received a HM
a little light went off again.
Maybe, maybe I can do this
at least I made the winners list.
The sponsor made me try harder.
First time I was top of the list
the sun was back, I was honoured
and I learned something valuable.
Read the rules! Think before you write.
All the sponsors, l now respect.
