A contest sponsors take on contests, judges, judging, and poets in poetic form as per my Judge Not Lest Ye Be.....poetry contest. Just having some fun at my own expense...
All Rise to meet the challenge, heed the call
let us bear arms to meet the aching need
to share our voice, our colors and our words
the pen and brush be our artistic steed.
Damn not the silent cowards, let them be
for fear is at the core of their disdain
there’s nothing you can do will set them free
from living in a hymn with no refrain.
Be not saddened for few will comprehend
how you have separated from the herds
the essence and the beauty of your life
your nuanced and ironic flow of words.
They could be but a clueless passerby
or poet with a jaundiced golden eye.
