Notes About The Poem

March.2-2026

Poem Your Voice Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Charles Messina

Placed Fifth in the Premier Contest.


 

On Versification- JU

Versifying is an art.
One’s course of thoughts, it can chart.
Sing loud your heart’s sweet refrain,
And harness some fruitful gain.

What you hold silent in heart,
Spill out, it may hit like dart.
If you put apt words in rhyme,
The outcome will be sublime.

Dear Valsa, a lovely reminder of why we do what we do. I especially liked the line about how a silent thought can "hit like a dart" once it’s finally spilled onto the page, it’s a perfect description of that breakthrough moment in writing. Such a sweet refrain! Blessings, Daniel

That's when I generally fail because rhyme is difficult for me. Great poem. Best for a win.

This one reads like a good contender to me. I have looked over some of the contest but can't remember right now which goes with which contest. LOL..Old age seems to hit in so many places. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K
