Welcome to the turkey shoot, but who gives a hoot.

I don't have any because I'm not competing,
other than against myself for cheating.
I dared myself to write,
because it always gave me fright.
In school the teacher gave us ten page terms,
that was always the moment of fear like germs.
My last term paper was basically plagiarized,
but I got an A minus which I realized,
was pretty good considering.
 

I Never was that good in English grammar either,
had no intentions of being a writer neither.
But here I am in this hollywood city,
city of writers, poets and all type stars.
Sometimes I feel like I'm on the planet mars.
Everyone wants to be the number one uno,
no one wants to end up being the zero.
 

I can't much blame them,
but if I wanted too, I could name them.
However I don't want to shame them.
If you know I'm talking about you,
you might as well say Amen,
sure I want to be a superstar in this den.

I know that writing can help far more than some realize,
but its best not to plagiarize.
Quite a few will show up in the cheering sqaud,
but that doesn't mean they wish us good blessing,
it's more or less they're adding the dressing.
You might as well say gobble gobble,
then go ahead and do the turkey wobble.

WEll writing keeps me out of trouble
so I write a lot, to keep my nose clean
and express my feelings from within
Peace be with you Brother

I think the key to a happy life is to do what pleases us and not worry much about the kudos we get from others. Here in the den it is very much a matter of "I scratch your back, you scratch mine," as well as understanding that it takes courage to post your words for all to see and critique. I also believe it is difficult for any writer to judge another because we know that poetry is subjective and often just a means for expressing what is on our mind. I do get your message, which means that this is a successful write.
Take care,
Sherry
