This time I'll win the Grand Award
I've struck a universal chord
The form and content in same key
The rhyme and meter vis-a-vis
Engaging light touch - does not shriek
My work is clear, concise, unique
No dangling parts nor split infins
( or are such crimes no longer sins? )
The adjectives well-used, and few
A most intriguing point of view
The vivid verbs correct in tense
My poem drips with eloquence
I've read the rules, done what they say
Now for due date... whoops! Yesterday.
Eva Harding
"The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow
separately without growing apart."
