Poetry Is Not a Test

A Contest is a learning tool
Not a test of your work
If only one reads your poem
You have already won

Contest

Con-Swindle
Test-Trial 

I love to enter them they are fun
1st place or N/A I have already won
To be disappointed for a loss
Just means only one has judged you

One good comment is an A+
Two means your poem is top notch

As long as whoever writing the poem enjoys what they are writing, they are a winner - I could not agree with you more Bobby. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Well here's an A+ to get the ball rolling, if you write something and you like it, that's enough. Doesn't really matter what others think. Tom
