Simply Fun

there was a girl named Alice
preferred to write while braless
 	wrote poems by rules
	while wearing her mules
her fingers were getting a callous

the contest rules were too hard
needed written by a true bard
	she wrote anyway
	hoping that one day
someone would say “blank card!”

her happy chance came from John
who meant just write for the fun!
	a simple contest
	wrote her very best
her ideas were simply spawn

judgement day came much too fast
she had to enter her cast
	it was simply judged
	nothing had been fudged
she felt her freedom at last!

To me, writing poetry is fun. This is a fun poem, Linda. Fun to read as much as it was for you to write. Great job:)

I agree Daniel. I like just busting free LOL. Sometimes I enjoy the challenge of more difficult forms/ contests though. Thanks for the nice comments. :)
