Lost,
stumbling
alone through

Mazed.

Paul Callus April 15, 2017 at 10:55 AM Congratulations on placing first, John. Incidentally both our entries start with 'lost'! Regards // paul John Michaels April 16, 2017 at 3:45 AM Thanks, Paul. Yes, I noticed that; guess it's the first word associated with "labyrinth" - we both had the same starting point but went in different directions with it! Regards, John.

Reason A. Poteet April 12, 2017 at 1:07 PM Like that last word, carries impact. Congrats. John. John Michaels April 14, 2017 at 4:11 AM Thanks so much. That's one of the things I love about writing / poetry - such a short, single-syllable word can convey so many meanings. Regards, John.

Laura Leiser April 9, 2017 at 2:01 PM Ah, without saying the word "labyrinth " this is a great descriptive write, John...very nice! :) John Michaels April 9, 2017 at 3:03 PM Except for "Lost"... dagnabbit... clearly that one snuck past me ;) John Michaels April 9, 2017 at 3:00 PM Whenever possible, I try to avoid using the title in the actual poem - especially in short forms like this, where every syllable is precious! Maybe that's why I struggled with "Lush"?! :) Thanks for the kind comments!
