This poem is part of the contest:

January contest. Poetry in 2 forms

(Read More...)

Should've, Would've, Could've... [January contest]

This last year, some regrets
If I’d known
Would’ve hedged my bets

Should’ve followed to the letter
Would’ve done more
Could’ve been better

Resolution... [January contest]

This is the year; you wait and see
I will study hard and make up for lost time
I am going to play less

The wolf howls from far away
Stay away from my door
Let him blow YOUR house down

About This Poem

Last Few Words: I wrote two short ones on the same page. The title of the second one is Resolutions. On the advice of Stan/Scribbler, I divided the two poems better and put the second title at the head of the other, so that the reader would know that it goes with the poem. I think that this format should work for anyone wishing to enter the January contest; as it may be difficult to post a second poem on the same day and to have them close together, so that the reader may compare the two.

Style/Type: Structured: Western

Review Request Direction: What did you think of my title?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?

Review Request Intensity: I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

Editing Stage: Editing - draft

Hi Geeze

You should post both the free verse and western classic here and don't forget to put (January contest ) next to title

You want...

me to divide the two? Seems a waste of space.

Wouldn't bother me...

I'm not sure how some of the others might take it. Do as you like, only be prepared to take heat for it. I can't win, seeing as how Stan and I are sponsors. Maybe we will figure out some way to be able to win by taking a break and letting someone else sponsor for a change. ~ Gee.
