I wrote this for someone's stupid contest

Just letting off some steam

Great poetry is depressing
That's why my poems suck
I'm either pissed off or funny
So my a*s is outta luck

I wrote this for some contest
I'm never gonna win
Maybe if I blow the judges
That'll give me an in

It's called depressing poetry
For verses oh so sad
I'll enter their f*****g contest
and make the judges mad

My girlfriend's real pissed off at me
So she's not putting out
If that's not enough to bring ya down
What else have I got

Ya know this Monday's Veterans day
and I'm a bloody Veteran
We were deployed to lovely Iraq
When they went sectarian

Don't worry pookey I'll spare details
Maybe another time
If that's not enough to be depressing
This is my last rhyme

Author's Note

If I don't win I at least hope not to be blocked by whomever's contest I'm desecrating

"Great poetry is depressing..." - While I admit that I have a few downers in my list, I generally avoid much depressing poetry - not a thing wrong with funny or angry - or any other emotion. THAT'S what great poetry is - whatever the poet feels. I hope you get at least an honorable mention for innovation and honesty!

Thank you rita

Hey Baby, are you using reverse psychology to try and win? If so it might just work.

I like your honesty anyway and the way you include your own life experiences.

OMG....I am laughing out loud here. I don't care for contests myself and while your language is a bit "colorful", you have expressed your views so well. Great rhyming. Lydi*

Maybe you should start the "Block me" poetry contest BR. That would be fun...winner gets blocked.
