Not Even An Hm

I stayed up all night writing a ditty
One I really thought was quite witty
When the results came in
Yep, no placement, no win
My rhyme and meter were shown no pity…


For the Contest contest..

Hi Barbara, I like a short poem that is cleverly crafted. This is that poem. Great job. I think "HM" must stand for "Humor Me" or "Holly Molly!"? I think of N/A as "Nice Arrangement" or "Noteworthy "A".... I could be wrong. Have a great week end. Take care. Earl
