Jon Gutmacher Poet Verse

Ten Lines of Poetry

Ten Lines of Poetry
by jon gutmacher    (for a contest requiring no more than ten lines)

Ten lines of poetry
to die if you must
pick up a pen 
don’t make a fuss

I didn’t join this site
to fight with a sword
but I entered this contest
because I was bored 

Live by it
or die by it

Jenish Somadas December 3, 2019 at 11:07 PM lol...smart and funny.. The star of long line poetry expressed his emotion in 10.. wonderful.. Jon Gutmacher December 4, 2019 at 7:03 AM Ha! Ha! Thanks -- that was a lot funnier than my poem. Yeah . . . I love to write longer stuff because I love a poem that tells an entire story. Thanks for the comment. Got a real laugh from that biting and true insight.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart December 3, 2019 at 9:55 PM Well, if it were my contest... ;) If you do enter it, be sure to remove your name. Jon Gutmacher December 3, 2019 at 9:12 PM Maureen -- really? Thanks. I was just having fun with it and messing around. I was actually more afraid that somebody was going to criticize me for not taking the contest seriously.
