Five Senses Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Sotto Poet 

2nd place in the contest

With fluttering ears a sound that no one else hears - the feeling is stuck It might have been the wind a pain and sadness that mocks us all the voice was speaking to me from within As the branches of the trees sway, a voltage by electrical reverberation The sound disturbed the animal's hearing shadows of eyes, teeth and claws my foolish straining of sensitive senses Yesterday's vision climb back to its destiny - haunting, empty pain The connections between the present and the past Characterized by a larger objective, the gods might have for them Ancestral heritage that remains rooted in memories Could that be you I'm hearing? The bells of the past ring the echo of solitude unjust is the last word of the sentence - no life goes in silence Walking past the moon, will listen to the dawn Blindness in the dark echo sound in the ears - have listened and sung

Wow! Absolutely stunning. Intriguing from first word to last...and beyond. Poetry that reverberates, seeps into one's own poetic marrow as both vitamin and poison. Who could do better?! I am awestruck! I must study and learn. Darkly, deliriously bright! Oh~ a FAV!

Anne-Lise, this poem is written as only a “born poet” could have. Astounding! You inherited any paranormal gifts? A masterful penning! I believe it & don’t find it dark or creepy…just true. I’ve not heard voices, but three times i’ve been tapped on my shoulder, tho that’s probably angellic, not those passed on.

"unjust is the last word of the sentence" any sentence -- Brilliant! Any life if so dimly imagined as to be all. Finito, period. Great poetry! Blessings.

You have this listed as free verse but has the feel of a haibun. Either way, well done. This also has an indigenous bent to it

- I'm not sure (haibun is not a form I know much about) ... Haibun is mixed with the haiku poem ... mine are 3 Senryu ... but, thanks anyway, Tom :) - hugs
