POETRY CONTEST
I entered a Poetry Contest on the Helium website recently. I was doing OK in the beginning but have slipped way down in the rankings :( I'm surprised really as my poetry usually ranks really well. I have three poems in Number One spots but unfortunately none of these titles are in the contest, typical, LOL! Here's a little one I wrote to poke fun at myself and the contest. Took me all of two minutes and is complete drival so they'll probably love it.
My favourite poet is me
How could it not be?
I relate to every rhythm and rhyme
I love to read it to pass the time
My favourite poet is me
How can others not see?
My heart and soul in every line
Penning the words is sublime
My favourite poet is me
Is there any hope for me?
Poetry competitors don't share my views
But entering keeps my amused
Later Love KB

You are my poet babe XXXX
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the writing from the heart but I can't resist putting the odd two minute poem in.
ReplyDeletetwo observations on the helium thing:
First, no-one fully understands your heart and anything that isn't superficial (or doesn't refer to God) will be marked down.
Secondly, I looked at my stuff from last months contest and generally they are doing better now they aren't in a live contest because no-one is interested in tactical voting anymore.
anyway, I usually 'get' your poetry and enjoy it so up their's ;)
Now that's what I call a poem! I could actually understand it. Good on ya!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are mine, sweet Steve.
ReplyDeleteToadee - Tactical voting...they will go to poetry hell for that.
ReplyDeleteMissy - I hope you beat all of them (not with a stick though).
Keith - Thanks Keithy.
