Big Points On the Line

Judges get a lot of credit
with the aid of a prompt
they offer motivation
they provide inspiration
and reward dedication

Contestants rush in
to show off their skills
when offered points
high hopes for honors 
of a podium finish

Contests have inspired many great poems on here, sometimes we hit that dry spell and judges often provide the spark to get the ink flowing again. Hope you're well Line. Tom

after a while, wins matter less than the flow of creative fulfilment, renewing within the poets heart

So true ~ we write for ourselves in the end and it's nice to get inspirational prompts.
