The Poetry Contest
We much beleaguered gullible
With thoughts profound ubiquitous
Pretending verse self-culpable
Deliver sounds superfluous
With empathy spectacular
Depression filled material
We carve our soul’s vernacular
Into eureka serial
In pungent deep buffoonery
Displaying our naivety
Of verbiage extraordinary
(but don’t forget our bravery)
We enter contests frequently
Entreat unseeing providence
And brave constructive cruelty
To bolster our self-confidence
