Jerry T Curtis Poet Rhyme

Poet Nouveau

Inspired by the Contest
"For Newer Poets..........."


Yes, I'm new to poetry
Can't you tell it by my face
My eyes are bright, my skin is soft
Ok, I'm fifty eight
But, I haven't been writing
All those years I've been alive
Ok, there was that one rhyme
I penned when I was five
But that really shouldn't matter
It wasn't meant, for public eyes
Ok, I admit it, 
I was awarded,  Second Prize
