Tough Start

Rick Wojtala

Free verse
Kaylin Clark has a lot to prove in professional basketball.  
Cut down on the turnovers.
How about one world .. I doubt it.
People are too stubborn.  
I would rather be a virgin than a victim.  
You really have to have something to say.
Talent is proof of a God.
Who’s better:  Jewel or Taylor Swift?
Slight edge to Jewel.

    I personally can not make heads or tails of any of either of their poetry nor their songs…But that is jest me…I read an interesting thing about Gemini and Aquarius today…Oh well…I wish both of these poetesses all the best…
