NA Necklace
I really must stress,
I'm not ashamed of my N/A necklace.
We all place in some contests,
lose some too despite our best.
The literary world has rejection,
but we must pause for reflection.
A poem one judge may not choose,
another may select so don't feel the blues.
Our poetry tells its own story,
be it an elegy, haiku, sonnet, or humorous-
Penning it has its own glory.
So when an N/A appears,
I don't have tears,
we should write for ourselves first,
and watch a new day dawn in a sunburst. ~
