Lost,
stumbling
alone through
pained memories.
Mazed.

Paul Callus Date: 4/15/2017 10:55:00 AM Congratulations on placing first, John. Incidentally both our entries start with 'lost'! Regards // paul Login to Reply John Michaels Date: 4/16/2017 3:45:00 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 Date: 4/12/2017 1:07:00 PM Like that last word, carries impact. Congrats. John. Login to Reply John Michaels Date: 4/14/2017 4:11:00 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 Date: 4/9/2017 2:01:00 PM Ah, without saying the word "labyrinth " this is a great descriptive write, John...very nice! :) Login to Reply John Michaels Date: 4/9/2017 3:03:00 PM Except for "Lost"... dagnabbit... clearly that one snuck past me ;) John Michaels Date: 4/9/2017 3:00:00 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!
