A fast beginning that was destined to hit a brick wall……

I have a new goal in life

That i set for myself today

I’m going to write a masterpiece

“Hot content”, i’m on my way.

I’ll labor hard to pick the right words

Then put them in perfect format and style

Hoping to impress the folks at triond

So i can stay on that “hot list” a while.

As i start my journey

My confidence starts to fade

Words that use to come so easy

Are now just a masquerade.

My enthusiasm is now wavering

From my lack of talent and brains

A quitter i feel that i’ve now become

My ego is now wet from sweat stains.

I truely understand the meaning

What it feels like to get “cold feet”

When you suddenly realize your limitations

And your great journey ends with “defeat”.

  • nadinesimone on Sep 3, 2009

    From what I take from your works, you are no quitter. Now forget defeat or buy a sweater!

    I liked this one, and gave you a big tick.

    Take care.

    Don’t sell yourself short, because this my friend, is ‘hot content’ material! You’ve expressed that well!

    I know the feeling well, but from the look of this poem you are already heading for the hot content list. A great write.

    good luck on making the hot content…. just don;t forget us little people when you make the big time…. this in my opinion is better than most of the stuff that makes the hot content list…

  • agriculi on Sep 4, 2009

    If I can do it anyone can.

  • giftarist on Sep 4, 2009

  • XXElleXX on Sep 7, 2009

    You’ve inspired me Hfj!!

    Thank you for writing what came from your pride
    Of emotions pent up and released from inside
    My urge is for your poems for the rest of my life
    Now fulfilled, I’m contented and filled with delight.

  • Nikita K on Sep 15, 2009

    A really humorous poem but I’m positive everyone will get their go on the Hot Content and your day shall arrive without much effort on your part!

  • Jane Jane on Sep 17, 2009

    Go for it. You’ll be there soon.

  • hallofwords on Oct 20, 2009

    Very nicely written. Truer words were never spoken.

  • Mila Marcos on Jan 12, 2010

    A newbie like me dosen’t expect to make any ‘hot list’ no matter how good my content is. I would strive to make it there later on – but if you’re a veteran here and good at your craft like you are, then you should be on the Hot Content List – did this poem make it to the Hot Content List Hfj or at least top Authospot?

  • Cynthia Cox on Jan 27, 2010

    a hilarious and factual poem.i think all writers at triond can relate to the written need of hot content.

  • Belinda Dobie on Feb 24, 2010

    That was then, this is now. How about giving it another try?

  • Armywriter on Mar 18, 2010

    Making it on the hot content list is like being a vet, sitting outside wal-mart wearing an old WWII saying I remember back when I was on that list, why seems like yesterday.

    Happened to me once, seriously, why I remember it like it was yesterday, all them views comin in and…
