The Contest


The Contest

Enter the contest says Brian Strand
The form it does not matter
As long as I think it is  not bland
Gives you a chance to natter.

What subject should I write about
What theme should it pursue
Times health, should it be paramount
Or those in the Virus grue

They say it's easy to strike a poem
Rhyme and reason's the key
Others of note, have been heard to groan
and from pages and pens they do flee

So, to the keyboard, I will travel
And will give it a bit of thought
wait the judgement of poet and gavel
and hopefully not done for naught.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
