Some You Win, Some You Don'T

Poetry contests we enter with zest And hopefully write to our best Sometimes we don't win So our re-writing begins Some poets, just over protest This poem is about another site I had joined, where poets went in the huff when their poems never got any attention. So many thanks to Constance for prompting me to write this. Needless to say, I don't post there anymore. http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/humour-4.php

The protests happen here too, James, but I'm sure you know that. Maybe it just got uglier on the other site. I wish EVERYONE would read this. No one can win every time they enter a contest. No one else would bother to enter. Hope you'll thinking about entering "Taxing Times" though. I'm just looking for laughs. Love, Carolyn
