Winning the Dance In Poetry

Winning the Dance in Poetry

Philosophically in thought,with my 
hands deep in water,
I do ponder what winning means?
Does it make a dent in the universe,
Or in the entire scheme of things?

Pray tell, from what, gods of Olympus,
do these givers or trophies spring?
My vain and weak attempts at poetry,
Are the children of sheer self-idolatry!

My face becomes crimson red if dare
even think I, a poet be!
Shakespeare stands at my bed.
The Bard, rollicking in uncontrollable
hilarity at me!

Vijay Pandit Date: 4/17/2019 2:44:00 PM You are a poet my friend..having such a meaningful conversation with the words you write and make others think. Well done, Panagiota.

They mean zilch to others but you seem to get where I was going. And for that, I am grateful. Have a glorious day, please! Panagiota~~

They did dance in his time-)). And he did have a sense of humor, au contraire. This poem was a soliloquy, wherein I was questioning my motives. I won a contest here and a POTD..am sure you did, too. They are fun and a way to grow, yes! God Bless You this Easter! Winning a prize for me does not mean I am a good poet. It's a poetry game.nothing more. Panagiota
