The Poetry Competition - a poem about poetry


The Poetry Competition

By Paul Howlett



The International Poetry Competition

Asking for entries to win

Many Oh many poems to send

But wait, the prizes are small

For such pricey admission

You’d think that the prize

Would be great

Look at the cost of entering

Look at the size of the prize

Without even posting a poem

You’ve way ahead and wise

Profit goes to the people

Who run the damn thing

Not the poor poets of note

Baring their souls to the world

Spending their hard earned money

For a chance to win

What a joke.
