Contest Description

What to Submit?

1 original, poem on the theme of 

unintended innuendo

 

Line of inquiry:

“as we passed her she did wilt

which caused in us sense of guilt

since our stance perhaps did cause

to put her heart’s joy on pause

 

though we’re gentle, not hostile

we diminished her soul’s smile

since our aura as she viewed

scent of love did not exude”

 

The contest title is your poem title.

Please paste the line of inquiry on top of your poem and then write about your proposed contemplative consciousness correction.

New poems only, minimum 10 lines, any form. Dive in deep! Enjoy!
