Makes me laugh out loud
But lately he's bitter
Tailed by some strange dark cloud.

It's more than ironic
This change in his mood.
He had been quite the comic
Now an anguished young dude.

He can't win with his writing
Any contests it seems.
There's not enough heartaching
Instead, joy just beams

From his lines about Ireland
Its bliss, its elation.
Writ' by his fine hand
Out of love for that nation.

But the judges of contests in writing, they crave
Tales of sick babies, misery and woe.
Children who may before right meet the grave.
Upon those who write in this vein they bestow

Awards, First place....second if some sun dares shine through.
Let it all, joyful writer, be a lesson to you! [comments] => 2 [counter] => 190 [topic] => 7 [informant] => Rammy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

Warning to the Joyful Writer

I know a writer
Makes me laugh out loud
But lately he's bitter
Tailed by some strange dark cloud.

It's more than ironic
This change in his mood.
He had been quite the comic
Now an anguished young dude.

He can't win with his writing
Any contests it seems.
There's not enough heartaching
Instead, joy just beams

From his lines about Ireland
Its bliss, its elation.
Writ' by his fine hand
Out of love for that nation.

But the judges of contests in writing, they crave
Tales of sick babies, misery and woe.
Children who may before right meet the grave.
Upon those who write in this vein they bestow

Awards, First place....second if some sun dares shine through.
Let it all, joyful writer, be a lesson to you!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
