A poem can win me 5000 bucks
Was úp all night, flowing like a river.
The wórds I need, seems to be bubbling free.
Just rolling oút of me, and returning some belief,
the belief that a “nothing” can actually become;
Something.
Searching through web pages,
following the fóotprints the mazes,
I find thís site, lulu Poetry,
and feel the énergy, flowing through me.
Léaping from the compúter screen,
words glowing, igniting inner creativity:
“A POEM CAN WIN ME FIVE-THOUSAND BUCKS!”
A talent as young as a “lást-night” dream,
A POEM CAN WIN ME FIVE-THOUSAND BUCKS?
Am I drowsing away, dreaming about a better day?
Absolutely will this save my teeny tiny life,
from the man with the golden car and strong gaze?
A POEM CAN WIN ME FIVE-THOUSAND VERY GOOD LUCKS!
FIVE THOUSAND, NÓT BROKE ANYMORE, BUCKS.
