Better, however, are by these:

Premium Member Poetry Contests

Poetry contests are clearly a numbers game.
Don’t take them seriously; it will only maim.
Enter eighty and hope to win three.
This philosophy works for me.

Get Real

To enter some of the poetry contests 
you would need an English degree. 
Even dear old Shakespeare 
would be confused, 
and put down his quill and leave.

Winning

In poetry contests 
I'm number one. 
In collecting N/A's
I'm second to none. 
Losing I found 
keeps my feet on the ground. 
Which could change 
if ever I won.

The Last, a First

the last
of seven
hard-fought contests
high school band celebrates 
a first


the last
of four tries
to birth a son
finds them with five girls AND
a first

Poetry Contests

Poetry contests are so much fun
Even though I've never ever won
But that's OK
It's nice to play
We can't all be number one.

There once was a girl from Nanaimo

Who thought that poetry she did know,

But she found this site

And try as she might,

For contests, the words just didn't flow.

Premium Member Judging Contests OCD

The entries land without much fanfare;
Ignoring rules as though it’s a dare.
     Arranged  A to Z
     I’ve put them to bed
As everyone checked how the judge faired …

Twenty Words

Though contests may pique you,
Judges critique you.
Challenges push you;
Naysayers shush you.
Rhythms confine you;
Poems define you.

Writing limericks was Jack's strongest suit
He won all the contests, worth zero loot
   He struck out with the gals
   Couldn't even make pals
So Jack got practical ~ took up the flute

No - I'M Still Not Happy

I was placed second, third and sixth in contests
does it mean I am happy and don't complain?
Of course not, I will complain till kingdom come
Until sponsors realizes friends poems are  plain.
