Ego Trip

Simple for a change:
Enter that poem you feel you could have done a little more with, that poem with that stubborn line, that you needed but didn't quite gel. In author's notes give line and verse number.
That's it.

    Anyone who was willing to be critiqued

    is a brave soul. I hope I was able to help all of you.
    It was very hard to make a judgment, but I read each out loud and tried to place them in the order of my ability to reread them. I would say there were no bad ones, and the first four listed gave me great pleasure, the fifth made me LMAO, and the 6th made me work. The seventh was almost a copy of someone else's work, but it could become the port's own with work.
    thank you all for entering, it was pleasure seeing the brave and hardworking talent in this field.
    Hugs, Ann the True Asp

    Thank you for the bronze; I guess I may try to expand this into a longer poem sometime -- will let you know if I do. Thanks again.
