TRUST
Zuper man's started a contest.
Is it con or is it test?
Is he just a little pest?
Or is he starting a noble quest?
Taking a risk and having a go
Is the only way we're going to know
Should we enter yes or no
The answer's something only time will show.
I think I'll write a little piece
so that my quandary will soon cease
Perhaps my points this guy will fleece
Or maybe help them to increase.
Of those points I have not a lot.
This will take most of those I've got.
Should I do it, Should I not?
Well I think I must just have a shot.
Free form verse or solid rhyme.
I like those lines whose endings chime
It may be a hard hill to climb
But it's what I go for every time
Well this has rhymed right from the top.
I've shown a little of my current crop
And just before to sleep you drop
I'll finish with my last full stop.
I'm awake it's a brand new day
And there's one more thing I'd lake to say.
The entry fee was an expensive outlay
So why has the contest been taken away!!!
So much for trust.

I like this one jim, you don't seem to think hard about the subject of your contests, you seem to pick and choose whatever your surroundings are. great poem jim.

Thanks for the comment Joe. It is not necessarily that I don't think about them. Some poems are thought out and, I hope, well crafted. Others are the spontaneous result of the contest description and rules.
This was a comment on the rules and, with hindsight, I think I was conned.
