OK folks, I know I posted a poem far too long for the contest requirement which state a MAX. of 20 lines. But I can't win the contest anyway since I'm contest director. In the event ya'll took my far too long entry as an OK to post a poem longer than the contest requires this is not so !....So Please, if your poem is more than 20 lines in length then you need to do as I just did and trim it down to a Maximum of 20 lines and preferably fewer.
My dear mother has been gone for years. Since I can't wish her a happy mothers' day I know a lot of the ladies here have children so I'll give my best wishes to them. I hope you all have a great day
Sometimes my poems come fully formed into my mind and I just have to perform the brainless task of typing them out.
They are the second best ones.
The third best ones are where I get an idea and construct a poem around it. They're not always very bad.
The best ones start as something niggling at the back of my head and gestate like that thing from "Alien" and burst out of my head instead of my chest, leaving a unfillable hole of despair and depression. I sometimes fucking hate being a poet but there are few other choices for a lazy bastard like myself.
Alright, everybody likes to talk about themselves so this should be easy lol. We're gonna write a poetic selfie about ourselves capturing a specific aspect or happening about ourselves. Hit the "Contest" tag to get specifics and sharpen those quills.....stan PS Please Do Not forget the brevity requirement for this contest. There is plenty of time left to edit and anything over 20 lines will be DQed.
