I've Tried and I've Failed

I want poems about trying and failing and overcoming that failure...

OR

I want poems about the Contest Picture



Ok so now that we all now what this is about... here are the rules:

1) No TyPiNg like this...really I will scream and then DQ you...

2) Please make it rhyme

3) Make it flow WELL...

4) And have around 25 lines...

5) I know this sounds like a depressing subject and the picture isn't the most happy picture...but make it beautiful with imagery and figurative language...You all are talented people...I know you can make it work...

Ok that should be it for now...let's hope you all enjoy this
