Mother Said Premiere Contest Winner

She seeks her enlightenment with hunger like a wolf Trapped in a sacred bubble shrinking with licked wounds Pushing out the people once vital now twice pierced With the absence of the presence and the love now just a breadth Of the time she spent asking mother am I empty? Fill my spirit forthright with the love I thought I dreamt For this life is temporary and the time is scarce And all I dare to do is take your eyes and gouge Trying to remove your truth and glean mine obliged You will not waver and even blind I feel the warmth I will stop you with my fear and my anger and my prompts How dare you love me wrongly as we live in different worlds Mother do you love me; are you gone and now an angel? I am never gone my dear though you thought me a monster

Congratulations on your trophy win with this outstanding Blank Verse, Wendy. If it were true to iambic metre, you would have had a perfect Blank Verse sonnet. You teased out the very essence of the contest brief and delivered a poignant poem. Regards, Suzette
