Margarita Lillico Poet Acrostic

Souper Brand of Brian Strand

I shoulda seen it comin’ my way - 
The Judgment Day

Bears the brunt of judging as gold 
Rakes piles of entries, old and new 
Insists - "completely up to you"
As long as you do as you're told 
Note, read the blog to make it through 

Submissions, like lava, pour in 
Tempting many soupers to win 
Review as you give it a shot 
Ace of Judges snubs dull and bland 
No to acrostic, rhymed or not 
Dare I disobey Brian Strand

Strand’s contests I deem Brian’s Blast - 
Meaning high praise and no shade cast!

Unseeking Seeker February 7, 2023 at 11:34 PM Better a rebel, a nerd rather than a blind follower of the herd! Congratulations on your top win in Brian’s contest. I guess you left him with little choice! Margarita Lillico February 8, 2023 at 5:17 AM Thank you, but I hoped I didn’t :)

Sam Kauffman February 6, 2023 at 11:10 AM Delightful Margarita! Brian is indeed a treasure, a gem, here in the soup! So glad you gave a shout out to him in your winning poem. Congratulations!

Linda Alice Fowler February 6, 2023 at 6:25 AM I love this Margarita - just perfect! Congratulations on your win! :) Margarita Lillico February 6, 2023 at 8:03 AM Thank you, I’m glad Brian did too:)

Steven Young February 4, 2023 at 12:46 PM You know his is the only contest I ever won. I never read his blog or did anything. I just saw his contest and entered. I've never understood all this shade people throw on him. Judging poetry is highly subjective. I enter contests I know I'll never win because the person judging doesn't appreciate my poetry, and I can tell that. I just want to give their form a try. I don't throw a fit about not winning. I appreciate the opportunity. Bryan sure offers a lot of opportunities. Steven Young February 6, 2023 at 1:13 PM Omg! Congrats! Didn't notice it was for a contest... back to oblivion :) Margarita Lillico February 6, 2023 at 8:04 AM All good that ends well! I placed in this one:) Steven Young February 4, 2023 at 5:50 PM Oh, thought I detected some cheekiness... after I replied. So, I shoulda said something like "Yeah, Brian's way or the highway." Margarita Lillico February 4, 2023 at 1:56 PM We are in agreement! No shade;), I pay homage to him. Brian is great and what he does on a regular basis is admirable!

David Kavanagh February 4, 2023 at 12:24 PM Completely up to you, so long as you do as your told, reminds me of Nirvana’s, ‘come as you are’ (Take your time, hurry up Choice is yours, don't be late), and your coup de grâce you dared do this in a rhyming acrostic Margarita, naughty but nice, great writing cheers David Margarita Lillico February 4, 2023 at 12:42 PM Thank you David, naughty or nice will be up to B.S. :)
