Vocal, I'll Take My Hat Off For Ya!
If You Ever Let Me Win A Challenge!
That's perfect I swear,
"I've done myself proud," I dare say,
Just another day;
Just one more challenge,
Another day, writing away,
Oh! There goes another one, way hey!
I failed last time,
Do I enter again?
A brave soul will sweat it,
Until she wins her dream.
So counting my grey hairs,
With determination and pears,
The fruitful thoughts are written in ink,
I work hard, but you still think my words stink!
I will not plead,
And I will not die,
But;
Dear Vocal,
Whilst swallowing my pride is a must,
And A favorite trait of mine is drabbling,
I'll take my hat off for ya,
Just this once,
If you ever let me win a challenge,
It's a must!
This is a humorous poem inspired by my never-ending desire to enter challenges, even though I never seem to win.
It's not to be taken seriously; it is just a little fun, that pushes me to keep writing.
Challenges can be difficult to win, though they are fun to enter, and they are a great way to test your writing skills.
Remember challenges are there for fun, to challenge yourself to write better, and to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone.
Hint: I use challenges to inspire my writing, and to help me find new things to write about.
We all want to win sometimes but remember that the most rewarding experience of this platform is that we can have fun as we write, meet other writers, and enjoy the experience, even when we don't win.
I hope you will enter the many brilliant challenges on Vocal, and remember,
The fun isn't in the win, the fun is in trying to win!
Good luck!

I too use challenges as writing prompts. Keeping my fingers crossed for you to win one day!
I know the feeling...and wrote about it, too.
