MAIL FROM EMILY

thanks emily

I've entered a contest

Like a lottery ; my poem

Chances are slim. I know!

Depends on the judges

Their mood as well

The imagery, the flow, and the grammar foretells

How the judges select....... I don't know!

Suddenly a message from Emily

I'm thinking all excited

I've won! I've won! I did It!

Speech ready; I like to thank all my friends.

Much appreciated. I really do!

I'm so excited. Can I say something absurd?

Golly gosh batman! Holy Toledo too!

Well I'll be stuffed! I don't believe this.

Must have been my imagery that just got me through.

I'm clicking on the mailbox

What will it say!

First prize AM

I can't believe I've actually won!

I open up the message all excited I am

To find....

VOTING IS NOW OPEN!

I'm crushed, squashed, split in two, a poet no more...... my mind shrinks shrivelled in a dark corner

Lol...I guess not you can start to get nervous. Eyes are looking every line reading once and then going back to another, reading another and then coming back, over and over, do I move it up or down, over and over, until the contest ends.
Been write there with you on this buddy!

This one is so relatable. A message from Emily is always full of expectations only to find out about the voting or pairing up contest. A great read Andrew. Humor is what I liked the most in your work and for that
I give you the first prize AM. :) :D

i have been waiting for this poem and it is amazing! Im sure everyone on WC can relate fondly to this. You write it with such humor and anticipation at the same time. And of course the judge had to have been blind to not have chosen you as a winner Lol

[andrew mitchell]
