But There's Something More-N

As the chairman I invited some people for presentation Those who didn’t get invited wanted to know the reason A reasonable thing to know why they were not invited But there’s something more to it than not as it seemed. Though paradoxical as it sounds, there’s often no reason Good applicants get rejected not that it seems bad often But there’re sufficient number of others that seem good But there’s something more to it than not as it seemed. There were physical limits on numbers we met in person Not invited wasn’t because something wrong for any reason But by other stellar applicants they’re just down pushed But there’s something more to it than not as it seemed. Worse to face were the hints for favors from authority Bearing on decisions as Chairman along with committee Handed over the post to an aspiring man fit to be deemed But there’s something more to it than not as it seemed. =================================== Dr. Ram Mehta

Unlike Terry Malloy, this one looks like a contender that will get a shot at the title and not a one-way ticket to Palookaville. Good writing Doctor.

Wow!! Fabulous take on the "Not As It Seems" theme, Paula. That last verse hits a home run in my book and I know I've just read a winner. Love, Carolyn

A "very" good example of something "not as it seems" many of us have felt the sting of not being invited and wondered why, you expressed these feelings of wondering very well in your poem . . . best of luck in the contest

I can see what you are hinting at, but I'm not familliar with the Kyrielle, or the conpetition requirements, a pleasant read none the less.
