I'm going to enter a poem contest.
Never wrote a Limerick, I must confess.
I might as well try,
Only God and I know why
I always try to compete with the best.
This poetry style is brand new to me.
I need to expand my vocabulary.
Not sure what to say
Hope to finish today
Will anyone ever call this poetry?
PoetrySoup has been so fun to join.
I'm sure by now, I've become annoying.
Which lines need to rhyme
Do I have enough time
And where the hell is this poem going
Now's the time to let this poem end.
I could lose every poet as a friend
Don't let anyone review
I'm just want to get through
Maybe this poem won't get entered in.
I hope this is the poems last verse.
There's no way I could make it any worse.
Now I need to hide
Anxiety's killing me inside
Would someone please call me a nurse.
Can I Enter This
by Carl Wayne Jent
Once Upon a Time, comes way before The End.
To write a story, there is a place to begin.
The introduction gives details; that says a lot.
Explains the characters, location and begins the plot.
After the intro, the body is what comes next.
This can be a page, or a volume of text.
The plot comes together; may the story seem true.
To capture the reader, they must see the view.
With the words of reason, having created the illusion,
We all know what's next, it has to be the conclusion.
In the conclusion, may the reader have surprise.
But it's usually the villain, not the hero that dies.
After the conclusion, the story has to end.
And that's when the thoughts and meanings, begin.

The unbearable beauty in jent
A colour I claim to invent
With multimedia
And synesthesia
It gives off a smelly sock scent
