The Great Writing Website

My entry into "Great Writing Website" competition on the forums here. This is about waiting to get your work reviewed by some very generous people.

Thnaks.. Alastair.

Possibly, but again no, not yet.

Have to wait and see, but I’m sure in a sec

Feeling like a dog waiting for the vet

Or sailor at attention on the poop deck

 
Why does this wait make me feel so alive

Make me work harder, makes me strive

Will the work soar or maybe nose dive

Got to have feedback from the literary hive

 
“I’ve got a review” I squeal with delight

Will it be good or possibly trite

Whatever the case, I’m sure it’s polite

As everyone is, here on this Great writing website

Think you could have made a bit more of an intro to this piece, as someone reading it other than for the competition would have no idea what the poem was going on about until the 2nd stanza! 
Think you meant soar rather than sore? 
But a good upbeat post, I am sure siddie will be pleased by another entry! :)
Thanks Brook...

Super Alistair. Told with a gleam in the eye and humour woven in to redeem the world's woes. And it rhymes like proper poems. You get my vote. 'Cept I haven't got one.  
 
My compliments to you.
Well done AL79

Thanks for the entry, I can't comment on it's value, cos I'd compromise the Competion's integrity. 
 
Siddie.
