poems lost at sea

poems and
people who penned them
queued up their craft
upon a raft
and set it out to sea

wise word herders three
survivors picked
the rest caught
in wicked waves
and lunched by seagulls

great first second and third
and a few other notables
stood out from the herd
let congratulations abound
to the winners

but also i congratulate
all those who chose
to participate
for each poem
tells a tale or two

my entries three
wore not
the garlands of glory
yet each is a part of me
which swam upon the sea
