Wordy Date With Fate - Poetry Palace

Proceed towards the golden palace gate,
Or turn and miss your wordy date with fate.
Each poet writes a verse and takes his* place.
The CREATIVITY upon his* face
Reflects such passion: love and lust for rhyme -
Yet more (INEVITABLE) writing time!

Proceed towards the gilted palace throne,
And kneel before the reader - hear his tone.
Let grand ILLUSIONS fill your poet soul,
And by INFUSION words will help you grow.
Can you afford to turn and walk away?
EVENTUALLY, you know you have to stay…

Using the words:ILLUSION, INFUSION, CREATIVITY, EVENTUALLY, INEVITABLE

*or her

The Master is listening as you read, Jack, and perhaps even the Pope! Oops, no that's another Souper, right? I love your entry for the contest. We do have grand illusions and a love and lust for rhyme. That's what makes poetry so special. Wishing you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn (PS-If I sign up again, I have a great photo for a new contest)

First of all, I like the asterisk at the bottom denoting your gender friendly write..also like the words needing to be used at the bottom. (I think I will learn from the master here and eventually add that to mine after the contest. Inviting poem full of intrigue as each poet has to take his place! You are a mystery (poet) writer! Congrats on a creative masterpiece. Gwendolen
