Hoorahs Hoorays

HOORAHS, HOORAYS
Fill up my days

A fresh picked bundle
Of N/A’S

I chuckle
As I shake my head

Just happy knowing
They’ve been read

Don't lose your focus, John...which is writing your usual really good stuff! I always keep reminding myself that a N/A on a contest poem is merely the opinion of ONE person. Think of the 50 people who really enjoyed the poem!

I rarely enter contests, I would be dismayed to get an N/A. Not everyone can bear such a defeat. I just wrote two pantoums for Autumn, but I will not enter one of the for the contest. Perhaps it's my disposition of old age
