The Comet

I am heavy hot and mad attracted by the same virtue in man as I move in leaps and bounces a puzzlement to the mind shake the earth like a rag as it speeds on its axis and wobbles inverting magnetism north to south you reset your compass and ask not why you look and you don’t see until you panic when in the sky appear the sun and I which I may even smite am I not heartless? And leave you in the dark three days and nights Third Place Winner: Caren Krutsinger Personification Contest 150 Fourth Place winner: Nina Parmenter-You Are A star-7/8/20
