The Winning Poet is....
Fear not humble poets your poems they’re not dead
They’ve just been put on file and are waiting to be read
A fine website this is and we’re all glad it’s come to fruition
But the rules of the game require much more than just normal intuition
Enter the weekly poetry contest you say?
Not a problem, it’s very easy… almost mere child’s play
But winning? Not so easy … several factors must prevail
First people must read the poem… not a minor little detail
Second comes comments and ratings by other interested poets
They read and reread and finally leave their individual epithets
Then the web owners take over and apply some simple math
The Standard Gross Count Mean Number system is defined as the path
Since no one really knows what that means… not even a remote clue
We congratulate the winner and move on without further ado
How does one make a name for themselves and gain wider recognition?
Well they must follow the golden rule … a simple proposition
The golden rule states unequivocally that good Friends are the secret key
So make many and nurture them carefully and a winning poet you may be.
