If This Was The Last Contest                           Sponsored by: Silent One  
_____________________________________________________________

If this was the last, final chance
To partake on an altar of lyric trance
While words weave and wishes wane
A verse contest, a feathery gateway.

Is it glory and notoriety we seek?
To be special, unique
Or to persuade others to speak?

The goal isn't solely to win
But to enhance readership
Reaching souls, affecting hearts
Igniting a blaze, building a loyal rapport. 

If this was the last poem for a contest
A bias to those who read my words
I'd cipher zeal, fire, and passion to it
Awe may dazzle minds and souls.

Explore the subject thoroughly
Hidden realms behind-the-scenes
What a poet does is not always obvious
Discover and explain what it implies. 

In a contest of words and rhymes
To strive for distinction and shatter the limits
Poetry, my dear friend, is beyond a game
But a vessel for the truth, a taming flame.

Carried out with care and accuracy
The writing reveals passion and mood
The magic is in the words and verse
Share verity using your hidden voice
Poetry can serve as a spark for a fight
To stand up to evil to shed it to light. 

If this was the last, may it be the best?
A fitting climax to a wonderful jewel
A nod to the clumsy tale of tenacity
To decipher, we must delve deeply
Consider, gain wisdom, and plunge
A verse spirit, meaning, or nudge. 

Do not despair if you lose a contest
The sponsor decides them
With their unique tastes and opinions
This does not jeopardize your poetry
The best poetry is distant and specific
Perspective, emotional mirror.

You still breed with your words
So let us embrace its brilliance
Glory to our brave, untamed words
Write with passion and insight
Poetry serves this aim
To win is lower than freeing one's mind
It's not around fame
But, the unquenchable flame? 

Let us rejoice in the beauty and zest
Let us be heard akin to celestial wings
So write with passion and zeal
Allow your words to rise
Don't only focus on winning
But, on the eternal love of creating.
