Haphazardly Poetic

If  you're a judge in a poetry contest 
                              elimination,
         look again and again before you jump 
                        into a conclusion;


         Printed words may look like black ants 
                     in batallion formation
         or squads of stragglers crawling out 
                    with uncertain direction;


  Oftentimes they're chunks, slices and splinters 
                        of random thoughts
      haphazardly strewn on the pages like black, 
                       burnt wings of moths;


They may not have creative sparks, rhythmic pace 
                              or inspiration,
         but behind haphazardness itself may be 
                               imagination.
