What was the best compliment you’ve received?

Daily Prompt

It’s World Poetry Day today, so I wrote a poem.

Rare compliment

It takes a lot to get a compliment from people

Whatever I do, they are silent

I don’t wait for one

I’m not trying to embiggen the problem

Even a rare compliment would be nice

I don’t care though

I function without one

Rare compliment I get, but I take it

Another winner takes it all

Another winner takes it all

A Winner, am I not

I don’t get many likes

I waste my time writing

At least it feels like that

Another winner takes it all

I’m not a loser

I’m not a winner, either

Another winner takes it all

Luck is not on my side

Maybe I have no talent

Another winner takes it all

I’m left with small pieces

That’s better than nothing

Another winner takes it all

But a winner doesn’t always win

A failed quest

A failed quest

Have a quest?

Get a rest

A failed quest

Is the same as a private guest

A quest can be the best

But a failed one is a pest

Had a quest that failed?

Don’t worry; another one will soon be hailed
