A Poet Gets To The Top
by John Mcleod
copyright 11-10-2001

Age Rating: 1 to 127

Very big banners that were secured with spanners
hung up on the wall
the guests were here and they started to cheer
as I walked into the hall,

People were gazing their smiles were amazing
all of this was for me
I held my head high as I walked by
everyone who came to see,

I started to talk silencing them who mocked
the ones who had no belief
my poem was good and it sounded as it should
some eyes held tears with the grief,

A sad poem I told with a voice that was bold
selling my soul that night
I woke up with a start with a pain in my heart
the reality gave me such a fright.

John Mcleod

Author note: You will notice that every other line has a double rhyme in it, I tried this out a while ago and have written a few poems like it. I like the way that it pushes the reader along at a fast pace, the double ryhming creates a bouncy read that begs the reader to push on.

Perhaps you too could create similar work?

John, I loved this poem and the theme. The rythmn was excellent! You write the double rhymes very well. You know my writing though. I tend to be free verse and my stanza poems are not my strong suit. ...and to be truthful, I really don't get into stanza poetry writing, that's just me... **g**

Enjoyed this poem and it's very well written!

Great poem, John. I'm supposed to recite for my daughter's fourth grade class soon, and I may have to wait until things line out a bit. Wow, what a challenge, I'll have to try it. That one will take some thought. Jackie
