Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

In Support of a Ps Poet

Poets were asked to write for a mystery contest
and I accepted the challenge to go on that quest
to open any book and blindly point a single digit
at 5 words or more that wouldn't make me fidget

What was the chance that my very first word
would be one that I considered rather absurd?
The contest theme is novel, and different is fun
This poem is half finished. My entry nearly done.

Thanks for reading each whimsically rhymed line
I chose more than 5 words, but one less than 9
So, when my finger pointed at the word, 'wait.'
I knew it was a message to stop at number 8.

Tomorrow, I will see if any comments were made
If not, my aspiration of placing will begin to fade
Win or lose, I'm glad to give support to a PS poet
with an entry in a contest, hoping I didn't blow it.



October 1, 2020  ~  Mystery Word Find Contest
Sponsor: Caren Krustsinger
Given the choice to choose 5 or more words,
I blindly chose: fidget, chance, absurd, novel, 
reading, wait, tomorrow, and aspiration

John Watt October 2, 2020 at 4:46 PM This is a fun contest, and your entry has a real fun tone to it. You have a real flair for finding interesting rhymes - my faves are digit/fidget, and poet/blow it. I also liked how you wrote about the process of writing it, kind of like breaking the 4th wall on the stage. Best wishes for a win ~ John John Watt October 3, 2020 at 8:48 PM Jenna, here's an interesting wikipedia page on the fourth wall (and breaking it) if you're interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_wall.
