A Tribute To Talent?
by Anthony Lane Stahlhut (Age: 47)
copyright 05-28-2005


Age Rating: 4 to 127

  A Tribute To Talent?
Picture Credits:

I try to enter all the contests,
with hopes that I might win.
I write about my feelings
are they good enough to send?

I try to stimulate thought,
while keeping the subject in mind.
Using the rules of the contests,
to help in creating my design.

I put the words into sentences,
I inject a little prose.
Should I be sincere or funny,
well only heaven knows.

I wonder what they'll be thinking,
what will it take to win?
Which way should, I say that?
Does it matter in the end?

So I enter my best work,
sit back and bite my nails.
Watch as the days go slowly by
crawling like they were snails.

Finally the end is near
and the waiting comes to a halt.
No one else chose to enter
and I won it by default.

So is this " A Tribute To Talent? "
or should anyone be so vain?
I wonder if they enjoyed the reading
and how long till I win again?

Yeah right... like you have to worry if you'll win... you win a LOT. But then again... you deserve it! So I'm not whining, I'm not complaining, No I'm really happy for you, And if you believe that... Why, I have a bridge for sale for you! LOL, J/K. I really am happy you've won as often as you have. You are talented, and the contest holders can see (and often acknowldege) it!

Very well written. But there is one place where I get hung up on the choice of grammar....

"Which way should, I say that?"

I'm pretty sure that the comma should not be there.

Otherwise, well done. Also, good subject matter.
I think it is sad that people don't enter the contests. (Myself included.)

You're right! We should all be entering more contests. Give yout a run for your money. Just kidding!!

Good thoughts, Anthony. I guess it really isn't a contest unless there are at least two entries. I have entered a couple contests, but they were with poems that I had already written. I find it hard to write just in order to enter a contest. As I always say, "I write what I feel" and sometimes I just don't feel for the subject matter of a contest, but I'll keep trying.
