Challenge
Poetry contest. Twenty word minimum. First place will be decided based on the poem, of course, though the number of comments posted by others will be factored in (critiques or praise, no one word or three word quickies) and those who comment should "like" it to keep the judges looking for updated reads. Write a poem about anything. Aim for the gut. Winner gets $100.
An Orchid Grows Amongst the Roses (a tanka style poem)
Draped in silken robes
She moves with beauty and grace
A lonely orchid
Amongst a sea of strangers
Wondering when she'll be plucked
