You’ll never catch me in any poetry comp.
I’m too good for that judging malarkey
How can poetry be judged?
I think it should only be enjoyed

Who are the Toffs to say I’m not number 1
Who is to say your work is poor?
I post for your pleasure not only praise
I write for your heart
I write to let your mouth smile
I have no competition

I am the Laureate of Liverpool
I am the banjosandwitch
I am creative and talented I need no medals or cheques
I only request you tell your friends
You’re reading my works is fulfilment for me
The competition is done
Banjo one, competition is none, thank you

Well done, well said. Like everything in life, there is always some so called expert eager to belittle and judge others. Poetry, like food or wine, is a personal thing and we all have different tastes. I must say this poem is well constructed and very well written. Keep them coming.

No conceit left in your family.

Good point. Well done. Thanx.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
