Miranda Hawley Poet Free verse

Poetry Soup Contest

Often I look at the contest and cringe
Maybe in a style that I have not binged.
Sometimes the topic is a banger
and my mind is caught on the hanger.
Sometimes I do not know which way is lit
If I look ideas for the contest to hit.
So if consider a contest once in a while
my writing ideas might just smile
But when I scratch my poetic brain and see
a little juice with creativity
it is likely I will find
words for my next inspirational masterpiece divine.

Sotto Poet June 10, 2023 at 5:15 PM The reading of this beautiful poem was quite enjoyable. Miranda your poem comes to a satisfying conclusion with a lyrical line that is upbeat and pleasant. There are usually a few contest that leave me wondering what the heck I'm doing!! Miranda Hawley June 10, 2023 at 6:44 PM I enter those contest in which I know how to do the style they want and the topic. That takes out more than half the contest. Other contest have a topic that I could write about and I get lost for words to say. That takes out half the remain contest, leaving precious few I can enter.

I Am Anaya June 9, 2023 at 11:41 AM I can relate to that, Miranda! Sweetened with your style. I would like to note that recently I received an e-mail from soup tell us that no contest name, date, or contest title were poems go. In the notes area only. They maybe be deleted. Miranda Hawley June 10, 2023 at 6:45 PM Thank you!

Andrea Dietrich May 23, 2023 at 3:04 PM Very nice and positive way to be at the end of this cute poem, Miranda. There are always a few contests that really get me scratching my head!! Miranda Hawley May 24, 2023 at 9:51 AM There is one running I am working on because I have a little story about the topic. Well sort of.

Bill Baker May 20, 2023 at 3:25 PM Sounds like making lemonaide out of lemons to me, Miranda. You do well to make your experiences poetic. Thanks for sharing, my friend. Bill Miranda Hawley May 21, 2023 at 5:27 AM Sometimes I do enter the contest I see. I am running my very first one right now. However sometimes there are styles of poetry that the contest require that I have never written in that style. At the end of the day though I write what I want and enter when I have a match for what is wanted.

Victor Buhagiar May 18, 2023 at 7:12 AM I haven't entered a contest for ages, Pity perhaps but I'm not in the mood. Your poem is great though. Miranda Hawley May 18, 2023 at 8:12 AM Your own ideas for creativity matter more by far than contest or not.

Sam Kauffman May 15, 2023 at 9:56 AM Charming, Miranda. Congratulations on your win.. I know all of us can relate. Blessings. Miranda Hawley May 16, 2023 at 2:50 AM Glad to hear I am not the only one with this issue. Thanks!
