Points...Huh!!!

Well miss pattyann4500
since you've asked the question,
I think it only fair that I  
answer with a suggestion.

 

You know it's not about the points...
right??? Surely you know that!!!
It's all about those trophies,
keeping up, tit for tat.

 

Yes, I must say those trophies
surely mean a whole lot.
It's because they're given,
by the talent and can't be bought.

 

Points on the other hand,
are only good for a few things.
They can't be used to inspire,
they can't be used to pull strings.

 

So, let me tell you what I'd do,
if I were so "lucky" huh...to win.
I'd give all those stinkin points away,

to each of my allpoetry kin.

 

Of course I'd have to stipulate,
with the points come obligation.
Contest host to pay it forward,
and a thanks for participation.

    I must say you are absolutely right. Most of the time it is all about keeping up with all the trophies, but this time it's the points. That's why there are more than most contests are giving out. I hope whoever wins will be as generous as you seem to be. Thank you for your entry and good luck in the contest. Patricia
