If your ultimate goal is to win a poetry prize,
there are things you must do without compromise...
I had entered some work at considerable cost,
with no clue at all as to why I had lost...

So, I read all the ones favored in the past,
seeking form and design for words I could cast...
That’s when I discovered a key to their prose,
its illogical thoughts on unorganized rows...

The first verse should be vague,
confusing the style.
In the second verse make them think for a while...
Like, “In the beginning the ending was near”
or
“We basked in an ardent recollection of fear.”

Conclude with some incomprehensible phrase,
like,
“The prolific embrace of our foregone days...”

Don’t finish ideas in these lyrical events,
and avoid any phrases that seem to make sense...

If they don’t understand, it becomes a “deep thought.”
In depth they will ponder what meaning you sought...
They'll argue if you've written a limerick or rhyme,
then cast it aside as a “waste of their time...”

I'll likely be banned, or be forced to concele,
but I'm sharing the secret it takes to succeed
dont stress over structure,
dont worry about the flow
use thoughts you dont have and words you dont know... :P
