Yet Again

Got rejected
yet again
from yet another
Art competition
this one
number eight
thought at
least I
had a chance
I can't
give up
this relentless
process
I believe
there will be
one for me
in the
not too distant
future
I can smell
the sweet smell
of success
so back to
the easel
I go
to enter
yet another
competition
yet again

Fleur,

This was a great bitch, things do come to those who wait, terrible saying isn't it, but don't be disheartened, your success is not that far away, Seren is right.If you paint like you write, you will get there girl. If at first you don't succeed, try,try again. have faith. Lyz.
