Contests : Wergle Flomp Free Poetry Contest : Past Winners : 2003 : Joseph Spensley
BOLOX
Leaning precariously into the wishing well;
He peered through the eye of the needle;
Observing the dead kipper;
Its lifeless eyes stared into a world of delusion;
Not intimidated by the clang of the wrecking ball;
Falling upon deaf ears of momentous whispers;
But rather mortification,
Of impending delirium.
No parallel could be reached;
After the light of darkness had crept into his abstract mind;
Confusing the issue;
Where was the toast not quite done;
The jelly bean formation;
Who could tell at a distance;
He stopped his bicycle,ajusted his clips;
Recoild and said aloud.
"Who'd have thought it."
Sent as a joke to poetry.com,
this poem received an honorable mention in the 2003
Wergle Flomp parody poetry contest sponsored by Winning Writers.
About Joseph Spensley
"My claim to fame is that I recently won the Fayette County adult
poetry competition and also talked about my work at a breakfast given by the Clayton County
Rotary Club, receiving $100 to donate to the charity of my choice, The American Cancer Society.
I am a member of the Fayette County Writers, and I'm what you might call a late bloomer.
I have written thirty eight poems in a little over a year and some day, when I have enough material,
I hope to publish a book."
