Screwed Ii

To think I've been, in this soup Probably a year No matter how hard I write I'm nowhere getting near Rob I think I had it And I'm really getting pissed What the hell is going on Why can't I make The List There are a hundred poems Wrote by just a few It's always the same poets There seems there's nothing new Who's the one I have to pay And what's the going fee To put my poems at the top The place they aught to be I know, they hold back commenting In hopes that I won't stay Secretly between themselves They wish I'd go away Outside of the click, I guess That's the way I'm being viewed It's just not my great poetry It's me that's being screwed for the contest Views expressed by me are not necessarily mine.

Very nice poem, maybe the problem is not many people comment on your poems. I read poems ,never commenting on them. Don't give up Your poems are very good.
