Entertaining Entry, I Hope

Entertaining Entry, I Hope

Who will I have been I past and yesterday?
Today yet still be same person tomorrow
When writing poem my style and only way
Not gifted so your encouragement borrow.

I there more of me in I or maybe I in me
Perfect company in for each other to be
Then threw in myself and started to see
That in the end appeared quite a trilogy.
(I know Freud is ego, id and super-ego.)

Poets pretend that qualities are inherent
Politicians prove points by being transparent
To me those things they preach are big joke
Small brains and hands should start to soak.

My twilight may be approaching and near
And 50th anniversary is almost here
Also to many I hope it is hard to tell
My 75th birthday is still close as well.

Instead of temptation off trying to fight
Many more peoms will continue to write.



Written April 5, 2016 for the Who ARE you? Poetry Contest of Catie Lindsey
Inspired by AD of course and don't know how to enter it. Create a feature
that automatically filters through my over 2,000 poems and picks out best
one for each contest. That ought to be interesting. Jim Horn
