Everyone's a winner...in the spirit of sportsmanship it's a measure...the insight of defeat a treasure...

Your muse was certainly inspired on 8-25 so why didn't he win this game .. hmmm ... I know the feeling of defeat but as long as it was a competitive game vs. a slaughter, I'm good. This brevity write sums up how many feel as shown on their faces after losing despite their words to the contrary. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

The heart cannot be altogether hidden. It's reflected somewhere... The trick, I think, is to embrace defeat as step toward ultimate victory---and to remember that 'It's only a game!' :) gw
