Congratulations

Congratulations

A Poem by Gomer LePoet
"

just how many performances can a person sit though?

"

Congratulations


Congratulations, take a bow, you have stolen the show

you really had me going there, and now I'm eating crow

I was convinced, you changed your mind, a constant fool am I

you sucked me in, with your magic tongue, every word a lie


Congratulations, take a bow, you have claimed the prize

once again, I failed to see, through your deceit and lies

you told me how much you cared, you're really good at this

turned my back, you gave me a shove, into the great abyss


Congratulations, take a bow, you're such a super star

you're number 1, tops on the charts, you've really set the bar

your command, of mystic spells, has climbed right off the charts

you hand to me, my broken heart, in a box of old used parts


Congratulations, take a bow, you've won another crown

is this the end, the final blow, should I dress up like a clown

cause one more time, the joker's wild, I've been the perfect fool

I thought I had, a fighting chance, but you've taken me to school


Congratulations, take a bow, the final act has played,

you cut right through, my hopes and dreams, with your pointed blade

when the program, lists the players, will my name appear

you said I love you, to my face, now you're no longer here

Direct and to the poem. The poem tells a strong story. I like the set-up of the poem. Each set of lines making the ending powerful. A excellent poem.

Powerful; rock solid! Best lines are:

into the great abyss
into a box of old used parts
you've taken me to school

Excellent; you have left me with no words to compliment you highly enough!!
