I See Beyond- - -

I see beyond this flashing screen,

as you judge my poem, nice and clean.

I know you have your rules.

They are taught in all the schools.

But, I failed.  So, please don't be mean.


You told us to not be trite,

and I'm trying to get it right.

It's like a jailhouse poem.

As I try to keep it flowin'.

Cause I have a hot date tonight.


Having entered your contest,

I will now sit back and rest.

Cause, I know you'll be fair.

As you pull up a chair.

And judge if my poems the best.




Written for the "I See Beyond...."  contest.
