How gullible they think we must be, These Societies of Poetry Who flatter us unmercifully, As if the greatest poets we'd be Who sees such talent in mediocre lines, Just to persue their greedy designs To lure Poet-wanna-be's to published fame, In vanity collections which inlude their name. All the while, appealing to our pride, While their alterior motives, they seem to hide Promotion of a Fine Art is not their aim, But filling their pockets while using the mundane Offerings prizes, conventions and such, To make one think, he has the Poetic Touch With shameless panderings,flattering to the extreme, Willing to rake cash in, at the expense of a Dream. They suggest that we're destined to be stars, And that's how gullible,they think we all are But sadly I admit, as a day follows the night, With many poor fools, they're absolutely right! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [I recently sumbitted this poem in a poetrycontest to one of the more prominent Poetry Societies. I wonder what the chances of them seeing my brilliance this time???  ]Every Day's a Blessing And Gift-Wrapped from Above, Share it with another And Spread the Father's Love!!! May You come to Know His Best Blessing [This message has been edited by deleeme (10-30-2006 09:53 PM).] |

honestly, they probably won't even read it but I truly hope they do!! Matter of fact, I hope they send it to the Presidents of these companies. What an outstanding write that needed to be written and needs to be read by those heartless people! and even if they don't read it, this makes me feel better anyhow |

To be published anywhere is a place to share ones thoughts of the heart and for the willing, the money from their pockets...James |

Very very good. I agree with the others, this needs to be seen. |
