A Contest
Perfectionist's selection
will overwhelm mediocrity
but who is a winner
when someone is the loser?
Contests of creation
creating competitiveness:
surely not survival of the fittest
or even the wittiest
but a reflection of talent
from the perception
of the reader.
Just write right
the form, the norm
so the judge may judge
and cross the t's
perfect like two peas in a pod
with no variation
just correct creation.
Correct peas, if you please
all uniform and green.
How creative, how sublime
but it doesn't rhyme
these peas in a pod,
or a pod of peas
if you please.
Perfectly round there they lie
and it will please us well
from their shell to be shelled,
steamed and eaten
as the end of this creation.
