Taking a Beating Graciously


We write as we like to gain
One should never ever complain
     The contest winners are picked
     If your not there your licked
So take it, and don't be a pain

There are so many very deserving poems penned for the contest and I know the persons running the contests has a hard time choosing the winners...Keep the creative pen flowing...Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..Sara

Thank you for sharing your poetry James. Poets here offer such diverse writings and to me it is a pleasure to read each and everyone. I will not be here at the Soup to read from Friday through Monday. I hope you will find mountains of inspiration during that time. I look forward to reading when I return. Have a great weekend. Love, Carol
