Win Or Lose, We Can Choose
I am done, finished, I am going now,
It is getting a bit sore, hurting now!
I come here poets, simply to make more friends,
write Poetry, with life to make amends!
Poetry is expression of my thoughts,
come in abundance, somedays do not,
I wish to share them with you in this place,
please do not make this some kind of rat race!
So do you win more often than I do?
Poet of the day, contests , what have you!
If it pleases so much, you can have mine!
I shall continue to write, just be fine!
Each poem comes with its own fingerprint,
same thoughts but said from different precincts,
In them see a reflection of my mind,
when they write better, I shall stay behind!
so when you win next, give yourself a pat,
I shall stay behind and raise you my hat,
True happiness lies not in being best,
but having the heart to applaud the rest!
I shall love you and leave you with a bow,
For token prizes let’s not have a row!!
