Writing Contest
Due to a friend’s request
I entered a writing contest.
It was quite the quest
and I gave it one’s best.
Unfortunately it was a reject
And very hard to accept.
I hadn’t prepared to protect
my heart’s gold crest
from its bullet to the chest.
A bullet proof vest
had been needed from the vilest
which I now need to digest
and make sense of its infest
so it may not continue to manifest
and ruin my favorite zest
and my soul’s favorite guests.
My Pen and my Auto-Correct.
P.S.
Now that I’ve decompressed
I no longer feel under house arrest
I can now put my pen to rest,
and enjoy my day off treasure chest’s
fuzziest, happiest, coziest best.
