The Contestant

by LisaMay

I thought that I was doing fine…
surely the prize would be mine?
But when I crossed the line
I came last.
No illustrious past.

Writing Prompt
This contest requires entrants to write a poem using exactly 25 words. Can you do it?


Author's Note:
''Crossing the line'' could indicate the finish line in a race or a voting poll. Most readers will think this poem is about hoping to win a FanStory contest.
''Crossing the line'' is also a phrase that means 'to go beyond what is proper or acceptable; to behave unethically'. The poem could be a simple one about self-delusion in expecting to win, or it could mean that people will judge your bad behaviour and it has consequences.
