Go
figure!
I
see that your four winners
All
have MFAs
I
do not
I
am an old dude who
Has
written poetry 60+ years
I
have walked the walk
Read
the reams of poetry
My
work is fresh, original
And
inspired
I
had no audience except
A multitude
of poetry readings and
A gazillion
workshops, not to mention
My
poetry blog…
But,
hell, what do I know?
Do
I need to stop entering contests
Such
as this and accept that
I
do not have the proper credentials?
It
would be kind of you, if you would
Post
on your website: Non-MFAers need
Not
apply.
Lovely
not to take money out of the
Pockets
of poets who have
No
hope of ever winning because,
According
to you
We
are not qualified.
Lesson
learned.
Cordially,
a
disgruntled poet
