A poetry judge looking for that one poem
by Ronald A PavellasSlogging through each moaning whining crying sniveling complaint
Of lost love, of no love
Of nameless pain, of pain in excruciating detail
Of anomie, of unfulfilled desires
Of how unfair life is to ME-E-E!
Dutifully looking for that one poem that:
Delights
Surprises
Inspires
Dives deep into my soul
I cant find it!
Whine
Snivel
Why ME-E-E, O Lord?
Sigh!
It isnt fair ... 12/10/2002 Posted on 12/10/2002

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 12/13/02 at 12:56 PM Although I once managed a poetry contest, and enjoyed reading through what was submitted, I'm glad I didn't have to make the final decisions as to who would lose and win. The really good poems made up for the really bad ones. Thanks for the humorous reminder, Ron. :o) |
