What to Submit?
1 original, poem on the theme of
To which image should we cling
Line of inquiry:
“We have been here a thousand times before
Memory erased, each time we begin anew
Of hands held tenderly, we’ve lost the score
Each embrace virgin like fresh morning dew
To which image, oh dear soul, should we cling
For each heart was at some point of time dear
As we flow through life with zest, zeal and zing
In all forms we see God’s presence appear”
Disclaimer: My contests are about addressing the line of inquiry primarily. Of course, poetry comes into play too provided the inquiry is investigated in earnest. I apologise in advance if it appears to anyone that less eloquent poems place higher than artistically crafted ones.
New poems only, minimum 10 lines, any form. The contest title is your poem title. Dive in deep! Enjoy!
Any form is acceptable.
