I’ve been giving @karenb54 a hand with her rhyming competition!

When Karen asked if I could judge
Her latest Power Tree contest,
“Electricity confuses me”
I openly confessed.

But then, in my head,
The words they did mutate,
I understood I was to judge
Poetry, on this date!

I browsed through the entries,
What a daunting task!
“Which ones do I react to?”
Is the question that I ask.

Some of them are funny
Some of them are sad
How can I compare them,
And decide if some are bad?

I’ve made my last decision,
For better or for worse.
And now I’ll duck my head
In case you fling at me a curse!

To all the worthy entrants,
The winners, and the rest,
I thank you for your good work,
And hope that you are blessed.

And just for fun, here are my previous entries:

Words for week 1: TRICK, BRICK. FLOWER, DANCE

There was a young lady from France
And oh how she loved to dance
Her cleverest trick
Was to dance on a brick
And waving a flower, she’d prance.

Words for week 2: BLOG, FOG, COFFEE, DREAM

I am a chocolate addict
I confess it on my blog
Without my daily chocolate hit
My brain would be a fog

I never have liked coffee
I never have liked tea
If I want a comfort drink
Hot chocolate is for me

I love the smell of coffee
To wake me from a dream
But the only way I'll taste it
Is in a coffee cream!

Thanks for reading
