I think I have more distain for cheating then most wrongs. To me, its combines lying, double crossing, and stealing all together. My conscience wouldn't even let me do it in school.

Oh, this is just dripping with sarcastic wit and undeniable truth. Ha! I can't stop laughing. That last line is killer. Perfect iambic pentameter "mystery poet".

loved the "dis" words you chose and made complete sense. Why didn't you enter this in the competition that just passed.
Compellingly paired picture and poem.
Solid rhyming couplets and good use of enjambment

Interesting poem here, Mikey. I'm not 100% sure on your intention, but I'm guessing you're referring to a contest on FS. If so, sweating those will just lead to frustration. I don't get involved anymore, but in the past, I lost ones I thought for sure I'd win, and won contests I had no business winning. It's better just to focus on the feedback to improve your craft, then do something with your projects. I now look at FS as an affordable editor, not the end result. But that's just me.

I'm laughing at the form breaks in the flawed sonnet and the closing comments where the writer points out the breaks don't matter because the person has already solicited enough votes to win no matter how the poem is composed - good satire. I hear charges like this, but I must say, I feel left out because in six years on fan story (just had my anniversary) I have never once been asked to "join" such a voting block. Brooke

Can't help but laugh loudly, mikey. I do so enjoy your what-the-hell sense of humor. Also a great deal of truth in those lines. Way to go.

But, you know, justice in my book always prevails, so no matter how much the cheats cheat, they will have their just reward in other ways! My motto for life. Excellent rhyming and choice of words to convey your thoughts. Enjoyable read. Faye

Amazing! I'm still laughing. This would've won I believe. It is perfect. From the picture (which I recognize from Warrant. Yes, I loved the eighties too) to the dis-dainful tone, to my favorite line, 'dismounting my victims, I leave them with smiles', to the perfectly imperfect ending. Too bad you missed the deadline. Or maybe you could cheat your way in by contacting the administrator and leave them 'In awe of (your) wiles'. :)

Justice slipped silently away
Hoping to return another day
But probably not
For he's standing on mourning mountain
Crying his troubles away
Too bad you missed the deadline, Buck
