Poetry Contest (29)
bajnblue, when I said "For some it may be too easy" I was thinking of you! I was certain you knew the Frost poem by heart and I was hoping you would wait before posting it. As it turned out this thread, thankfully, took a wrong turn, a "Road less travelled" so to speak.
Maybe someone will start another similar thread.
If I do it, I'm donning a bulletproof vest first though.

Man that was awesome! I love that opening line,
"I know that though it seems the snow
Has brought the gray you fear"
You have talent my good man!

Actually I do know it by heart, but in my reading /hearing it in my head the rhyming words don't have the same impact so I didn't recognise their origins.

Why, thank you, thank you very kindly.... Us musicians are way too critical of ourselves, so I don't write nearly as much as I should.....But thank-you for the compliment

I enjoyed your prose as well.

Ya know, I knew I shouldn't have posted anything...
Carry on, dear competitors...
This following thus why I submit naught, nor am I published...
To be ignored, perhaps to fade away,
This honest rhyme, will haunt to dying day.
It's not worth a tantrum, or a kicking of the feet,
It proves the world is rain-shed shallow,
With a scarecrow's paltry powers of cognition,
Perhaps with flash, I might attract attention
Thirty seconds, maybe, of honorable mention.
That's all right, that's okay, as ee cummings said...
Thanks for nothing, and for nothing, thanks anyway.

I guess I was in error
I just saw to my horror
That you had put me under
But it's okay, next time I'll do better!
