This poem, Lacking the Skills, might be a winner since this prompt draws the darkest topics and sometimes the melancholy needs a bit of poor me to lighten the mood.

A skilful write and never be sad over not winning a contest, voters are fickle and sometimes just vote for the first person on the list without reading all the poems, it is really down to luck, a lottery win, your poem is well written, perfect rhymes and metre and deserves to win, good luck, love Dolly x

This work has reached the exceptional level

I love this and there's no chance you're lacking the skills. Coincidentally I've been thinking, myself, of how frustrating self-expression can be sometimes and wondered if I might try to write a poem on the subject. You've beaten me to it very successfully. I also like the refrain moving down through the stanzas. Best wishes Debbie

    Wow, thank you so much for the fantastic review and giant sixer, Debbie. To be honest, I was really just goofing around with the prompt. Lol. Yes, they're all going to be sad but I had to throw something humorous in the mix. I couldn't resist. Ha. I dearly appreciate the gracious rating, D. I'm glad you liked the piece. Thank you again.
