I could never hold a candle to you 🕯️
When things seemed to be going well
Yet another inconsequential
Moment mutates into something
For you to crow about…
Yet another feather plucked 🪶
To sport proudly in your cap…
There’s no doubt…
You always just have to win!
And so…
I see our fragile friendship
Fracture again
With you…
Life’s just one big Race
You’re only happy when you’re
Ace!

I know some people like that
I know of too many people like this Angie, excellent job and use of the prompts. Liked this line especially, “Yet another inconsequential Moment mutates into something For you to crow about”. 🙂 👍
Really love this one- clever use of several of the word prompts and nice flow!
A beautiful portrayal of that moment when you discover it's a one-sided friendship!! I hope this is purely fiction Angie!! If not, point me in the direction of whose ass I need to kick!! 💚
Far too many people are like. You described it perfectly! Great poem🩵
Some very controlled anger and resentment bubbling in this! Great use of the prompt words!!
This is absolutely masterfully fabulous. Excellent work as always Angie!!!
Ah, those narcissists. Never yielding, never happy.
Lovely entry! I am never clever enough to do one of these!
This was brilliant and captured so much truth of a one-sided relationship. And the peacock feather was the cherry on top!
My ex boyfriend was like that. He didn't like me doing better than him at Vocal. Thank God he's an ex now. I especially loved your use of the word crow. This was an awesomeeee poem!
Eugh, this is so tiring! I love how you manage to evoke that!
Nicely done, Angie! This was a great use of the prompts.
Excellent words for the challenge and its not enough for them to win, someone has to lose
There are people who'll never be satisfied until they beat us at everything! A great take on Poppy's challenge.
