Getting There. Poem by Fay Slimm

Getting There.

Rating: 5.0


Success is surely
....................so seldom in number.

Five hundred verses
.............though not seen as great

Is some achievement
.......................which I now venture

To note and admit
....................makes me celebrate.

Getting there proved
........................... a marathon effort

With mountainous rejects
.................................... to relegate

Though just a few appear
............................ worthy of status

I still feel determined
.................................. to celebrate.

Wow! ! ! Congratulations Fay.......I have the one too in myself...I have written more than 500 in a year of stride. It doesnt matter whether those are seen great or not, what, matters most is the achievement and self fulfillment we have imparted to the world of poetry! ! ! Cheers.....................

'Congratulations' as 'Quiff Pilchard' once sang. I think you're being a bit harsh on yourself in the last three verses Fay. I have often enjoyed your work, and visit regularly to read your inspired poems. In terms of rejections, I would take them with a pinch of salt. Best Steve
