Second Place

Instrumentalising mind, I rested thought,
employing it only when needed,
shifting to heart, I became self-taught,
gentling touch, voice of conscience heeded.
Line of inquiry, Unseeking Seeker
"Every thought of a writer's heart and soul, every experience
of their life, every sadness in their mind, spills onto white."
Quote by _ Constance
I have learnt overtime to refine
my writing clarifying improving
for as a poet I will always elevate my words
as best I can
to blur the line of creativity and rule
oh, I have a consciousness of senses
when writing
an awareness and mindfulness
I open the eyes of my mind
and slide from a dreamy state to reality
as a poet I have mastered the
instrumentation of writing
it is a process self-taught
so that my poems have heart and soul
a stepping-stone path a road to follow
hopefully I employ an engaging way
to captivate readers that embrace the art
oh, the process is always shifting and rolling
it is never the same ask any poet
the journey is restless always wanting more
but for this person the way has been life changing
for I now have a kindness, tenderness, and fragility
a softness that I never had before
I heed the rules of poetry (sometimes)
understand them and behold fine examples
of perfectly written poems
but, have followed my own heart and poetic voice
and consciousness
and have written my way . . .
