Sue Mason Poet Rhyme

Winners

For Brian Strand's "Adaption" contest ... from A Heap O' Livin' by Edgar A. guest poem
                                                              entitled "Failures" - published 1916 -


'Tis better to win than lose
that we know is true.
But even when I lose
I know I still have you.

'Tis better to have a friend
than treasures in a pile.
Better not to be alone
with out your great big smile.

So come with me and take my hand,
we'll skip along the way.
And victory will be ours
each and every day.

I was on Poets Workshop before until it closed its doors. I started writing poetry in 2005. Thanks for sharing this poem and thank you for your comments on my poems. Love and Blessings, Caroline.

Linda-Marie Sweetheart November 1, 2009 at 4:41 PM Great rhyme, Sue and wonderful message about friendship... enjoyed it... glad u liked The Doll poem.. I too let my doll go .. my sons always made fun of her .. and me .. for having her for as long as I did.. I miss her... but maybe some little girl will be happy now that I have given her up... have u looked up HGarvey Daniel Esquire lately? He is having a neat thing for Soup poets.. check it out...

John Freeman October 31, 2009 at 11:53 AM Friendship is a golden wealth, between humans, next to friendship to God Himself. Love God and your neighbor. A life partner, should certainly first be your friend indeed. God bless Sue! Sincerely, Love, Moses
