can you tell me if my poem is good enough to enter in a contest?

Question

No matter how they try to explain it, we will never understand,
Cause the thoughts of a woman, can never be understood by a man,
Our minds work different, their method of thinking is quite unique,
Men would be blown away, if we were allowed to take just one peek,
Women won’t allow this to happen, that privilege hasn’t been earned,
But with this letter, I hope to explain all of what I have come to learn,
First we’ll start with the woman, who will surpass almost every other,
The first woman that a man is destined to love, this woman is his mother,
The mother is the most loving, loyal, and the most dedicated to a man,
His trusted advisor, and without her foundation, a man can never stand,
The relationship they establish and the love they share will forever stay,
But this is the first woman in a man’s life that he will push far away,
Not out of angry, but because that’s what she prepared him to do,
This is where we complicated it and introduce woman number two,
This woman can show you that life is worth more than any car or toy,
This woman can also be the one, whose only purpose is to destroy,
This one tricky, this woman can make or break a man’s heart and pride,
You see, this is the woman, that makes us feel all the funny things inside,
A man’s hardest choice is to pick the right woman for him to share his life,
This woman can turn into his worst enemy, best friend, or loving wife,
They’ll tell you that your perfect, then tell you that you have to change,
They can repair your soul, or rip it apart; the risk is at close range,
So either keep your distance or use extreme caution as you proceed,
Yet a man can select this woman to be the one to carry his seed,
The intro to woman number three, comes in light of a daughter,
She teaches the most important lesson, how to become a father,
There have been many before her, but she will mean much more,
The only woman a man doesn’t want to see walk through that door,
So in conclusion I’ll leave you with one final thought in your head,
Love and respect all women, without them you might as well be dead!

thanx for all the great input guys and girls. Yes there are so kinks i have to work out of the poem .. some grammer errors and stuff. To the one who said my style of poems is "outdated" poems are an expression of the soul .. no old .. new .. wrong or right way to write a poem

Answer 1

You have a great talent! I would really suggest putting some music behind your work. Betty Wright, Sade, Cyndi Lauper, Evelyn King were all successful at writing from the heart.

Our greatest songs were from past experience and logic. This will be felt by people everywhere, especially the men.

Answer 2

If you're talking about a poetry contest, you're not going to win with a poem made entirely of couplets. That went out of style in serious poetry over 100 years ago.

Answer 3

It is a very good poem and yes I think that you should have it published. It is a very mature poem. A woman is a very powerful creature. She can tear you apart inside if you let her.

Answer 4
