You Be the Judge - the Poem Speaks For Itself

For a little poem I do perform A depth defying feat. By all accounts I do seem shallow Upon a surface read. But before that N/A switch is flicked, Let me percolate; What once was shallow, when you dive in, Becomes a spring fed lake. Contest: You Be The Judge Sponsored by: Bobby May Date Created: 03/07/2019 Your Judgement Rating: 1st Place
