The Poet's Grook

The poet who is rejected, and still smiles with joy, is a winner in all eyes, although the sting to the ego hurts, the dagger to the heart bleeds, the wise poet just turns the page. _________________________ February 13, 2016 Poetry/Grook/The Poet's Grook Copyright Protected, ID 16-756-405-0 All Rights Reserved.

I enjoyed how your last line could be interpreted in a couple different ways. Either it's the next page, that skims past the rejection slip. Or it's the next page, where you will write your new poem! Thanks for participating in the contest. I had a lot of good grooks to read.
