yea, i wrote a poem to try and win some prize money and never thought i'd hear back but i'm a finalist! here it is...
Rolling Loss
A life well spent is a life well earned,
for who but the strong shall
work to prove they are worthy,
as worthy to life as fruit on a tree?
such fruit are, themselves, strong;
many, with tough uouter flesh, which long
have endured the storms of night
and hard-cored pits, withstanding all might.
yet beneath the flesh, one can find
great discoveries of wonderous kind.
simular as fuit may be,
there lies a softness, before unseen.
such strength through life so how, oh, how,
can this mighty fruit give so noble a bow
and give the tenderness within
to that most hardened of all, to men?
ya like? oh, and if you think about it water has many colors...green, blue, white, even a little yellowish. the colors are how the Songhu is supposed to be ever flowing. (i like to make my readers think
)
and she's right, that really was creative...you might want to keep a stricter stanza next time but they were cute
when y'all are ready i'll go on.
