Poetry Is Earned
fill their costumer with glue
lifer matters their most
Villager queen between its means
there breath of fresh air
through there Mexican sod
another fixture was found to be dead
kill off there motion reflect
blow off spots can't even hear
there is a ladder that leads outsider
framer there discomfort can't even swell
a message to blow
there portrait of gain saying
agree with that compulsive
my aim for the grocer
stick to the native tongue
whisper in the air
a breath of fresh air
haunted to fare fetch
The tiger mast
poetry is earned
flag their ball simpler but slow
pardon there reaction shed like home,
Poetry is earned
Not in quiet slumber spend time alone
Or in rich places with societies'
Cream of the crop, but in reading tone
Upon tone of richness; varieties
Poetry penned for fun among poet friends
That soupy mixture of different beans,
Peas, corn, carrots, onions; those soupers tend
To bless, nourish, mend by gleans
Gleaning of rich blessings from their humor
Political astuteness, knowledge, love
Those that describe like gifted costumer
Whose costumes they talentedly wove
Poetry soup gathering place to uplift
Like minds, rich with societies' gifts
In honor of Carol Brown's contest
