Nailed Or Not
Being sure that I had nailed it
I wished I could pat my own back.
With this poem I was certain
I would be leader of the pack.
Each day I watched as the others
Posted poems for the contest.
As I read I became worried
That my poem was not the best.
I pulled it to check for errors,
Perhaps a comma needed there?
When the member’s names were published.
Mine wasn’t listed anywhere.
Investigation showed I’d failed
To enter poem I thought nailed.
