Contests

CONTESTS
   
         Contests! We don’t need, No stinking Contest
         Participants should get honored on competence.
         Unbiased impartial judgement to present.
         List of winners to get focused on magnificence.
       
         I always enjoy poem submission
          to feel contests as game to play and rollick
           on my creation cum recreation
            running joyous in fun and frolic.
            
          Some truly talented poets as sponsors
           judge blind, showing no special favor.
           Those contests are fresh blooming flowers
                flushing fragrance flaunting flavor.

        Some contests choose winners within a selected circle
            List of toppers showing quite oblivious
      Rest cannot break glass-ceiling obstacle.
         Those contests are stinking, ridiculous.
     
                    Contests should be judged honestly blind
                    Winners to be placed on merit not on choice.
                     So, stinking smell will not irritate behind.
                     Contests are nothing but clean games to rejoice.

Jan, I apprehend, my poem will not be appreciated by all. You are bold to accept. Love
