Poetry Contests

Poetry contests are so much fun
Even though I've never ever won
But that's OK
It's nice to play
We can't all be number one.

Very interesting and free-style. Considering game as the goal instead of victory or loss. Congratulations!

Absolutely! You have far more patience than I have, John. After a while, I begin to question my ability to write a decent poem, and that gets frustrating! I'm learning to say, "Well, it's just that person's opinion, and what is their opinion really worth?"

Hi Milton, since I retired I have more time on my hands,I never expect to win anyway.
