The winner takes it all - a original poem inspired by the song by ABBA

I played my part, I gave my best, 
Yet unlike me, you did it effortless,
No trophy to hold or prize to claim
Just empty hands and an echo of shame.

I stand beside the constant cheers for your glory,  left alone in my own forlorn story.
You smiled as if it were just fate, 
As if my

Forged to rhyme with old sonneteers' pace. 

Now where does a tottering novice start
As he pens such a crystalline work of art, 
To honor champs in grave's dark repose, 
And

Tropes On My Island


To go to Tonga like this had not been my plan

Recommended though it was on the lonely planet

Om mantras were now my only companion

Planting seeds in my inner world and mind

In the interest of survival fire rubbed from sticks

Condensation separating salt from water

A salt water crocodile kept me on gritted toes
