Poetry Contest Elimination
Look again and again before you jump
into a conclusion
if you're a judge in a poetry contest
elimination.
Printed words may look like black ants in tight
batallion formation
or squads of stragglers crawling about
in uncertain direction.
Sentences, oftentimes, are chunks or splinters of raw,
random thoughts,
so haphazardly strewn on the pages like brown,
burnt wings of moths.
They may not have creative sparks, rhythmic pace
or inspiration,
but behind haphazardness itself may be
imagination!
