Is This Your Contest
Is this your contest?
A tantalizing tease that you give
to dally with the poet to take leave and sieve
away from their ingrained tradition
to mold and form some wavering transition
that fits, contorts, evolves and forms
the poetry desired by you to be born?
Sometimes,
I must confess
rules and specifications cause me to stress
as I wallow patient in my regress,
but all the same,
I'll not leave my name
but try harder to conform
while from my own pleasures I am easily torn.
