Once More To the Well!

by michaelcahill

A contest calls my pen to arms.
These scribes don't stand a chance.
But, will any cast their votes for me?
Or, is loss my happenstance?

They say they love my words so sweet,
the rhyme and even flow
and that elite alliteration,
a word that I don't know.

They embrace the tender meaning
of my heart so overflowing
They say I used a metaphor
with me not even knowing

It seems I've been enjambing
I hope no one was hurt
I try to be so gentle always
I need a rhyme, Oh! help me Burt!

(A rhyming couplet he did blurt.
They thought he couldn't? Very curt!)

The thing that chaps my tender hide
and makes me want to yell,
if I am such a poet skilled,
where are all the votes pray tell?

So, once more to the well I stride
and cast my penny down
Will dollars sail my posts tonight?
Or, should I dive right in and drown?

I am not allowed to grovel for votes. So, I suppose I don't really have any notes as I am unable to humbly request that anyone take pity on me and vote for me. So, I guess I will just leave thoughts of endless riches due to hordes of votes to the realm of my imaginations and not hope that it would invade the reality of my journey towards writing stardom. Thanking you rhetorically. Wink, wink, wink.......
