Sat and wonderedWhether I should try,
Excuses, a hundred
Finally answer why.
Chances the sameFor everyone else,
First prize to claim
Send out, check pulse.
Five of my verseAre now enroute,
Each one diverse
Done! Don’t doubt.
Today, I entered my first poetry contest with the Boston Review. I’m nervous about it, but I’m sure as time goes on it will fade. If you get a chance, please wish me luck and send a prayer. :)

Ana, Thanks much. I’m pretty excited about it maybe because I’m a virgin poetry contest applicant. LOL! I appreciate your confidence.
ReplyDeletecray, thank you for your well wishes. *crosses my fingers*
Bea,
ReplyDeleteThe very best of luck. Your poems that I’ve read so far are really good!! I think it’s a just a matter of time that I won’t be reading new ones for free. Even so my prayers are in for you to be the winning poet. : )
Aw, thanks Veejay, and I appreciate your prayers.
