James Fraser Poet Limerick

Some You Win, Some You Don'T

Poetry contests we enter with zest
And hopefully write to our best
Sometimes we don't win
So our re-writing begins
Some poets, just over protest







This poem is about another site I had joined, where poets went
in the huff when their poems never got any attention. So many 
thanks to Constance for prompting me to write this.
Needless to say, I don't post there anymore.

Carolyn Devonshire January 30, 2011 at 10:58 AM The protests happen here too, James, but I'm sure you know that. Maybe it just got uglier on the other site. I wish EVERYONE would read this. No one can win every time they enter a contest. No one else would bother to enter. Hope you'll thinking about entering "Taxing Times" though. I'm just looking for laughs. Love, Carolyn
