If at First You Don’t Succeed
Contributed by: Jennifer Aldrich on 6/25/2006

If at first you are ignored,

Speak up, your courage restored.

The sophisticated moron that I am,

I know very well the sweet reward.

Don't give up.

There's life in you yet.

If you try your very best,

Nothing will you ever regret.

When the time feels right,

Take the plunge, the daring flight.

You will find that once you're through,

Revision's something you can do.

To prove my hunch,

I'll demonstrate; I'll jump out of this plane.

I'll take the plunge, and when I'm done,

They'll be nothing to debate.

The wind is rushing through my ears,

I cannot stop to think;

But then I realize my fear.

My parachute...oh what a fate!

Somehow, it failed to inflate!

Nice poem. I used to write poetry when I was in high school and college, but I haven't written any in a while. I hope to see more stories and poems from you in the future. Maybe some photos, too! Thanks.
