Premiere Contest WinnerInconspicuous

I'm a whisper in the wind, shouting out, mocked by reality, I'm plagued by doubt, struggling to grasp what life is all about. Rendered inconspicuous as white noise I set dreams aside, like yesterday's toys: hopes my heart harbors, my ego destroys. I'm a question, posing as an answer; both a pragmatist and an enhancer; I treat hypocrisy as a cancer.

Same here, Emile. Folks often ask me to recite a poem, and I can never come up with a single one and I've written hundreds. Soup Mail.

Thanks so much, Milt, it was hard to come up with a favorite since once I write a poem it leaves my memory, forever free to wander through other minds, I can't remember a word without reading it, I appreciate all of the time, effort, and kindness you have shown me my friend, Emile.

Wow! I really connect with the way you write your poetry. "I’m a question, posing as an answer, both a catalyst and an enhancer" I'm just rapping this in my head. The flow. I love everything and cannot stop reading your stuff. Do you have a book(s) of these?? CB

I love poetic triplet rhyme schemes, this is outstanding Emile and it probably does sum up who you are in 9 lines or less...quite an accomplishment! I agree and disagree...hypocrisy is a cancer, but you Sir...are no mediocre poet!
