Entering William's Final Contest of the Year

Contest
I wrack my brains
trying to please William
and gain a coveted trophy
but when I read all the other entries
I know that my paltry effort
just has not got a chance ...
Should I enter
Contest?

A Red-Letter Day Rictameter Poetry Contest
William Kekaula


Checked with soup counter and How many syllables - William counted as 2 syllables has per the counters (but to my ear it is three)

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 12/29/2019 11:52:00 AM These are the type of thoughts we have when we try to write for a contest and and wonder if our work is good enough. Nicely done, my friend. Best wishes in William's contest! (Sometimes the syllable counters surprise me too, Jan. "Fire" counts as one syllable, but I say it with two.) Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
