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.

Silk

I take on the night A spool of spider string is sewn through me and the heart of the North Star  I let the crisp air of the heavens kindle the chord The connection a rarity, little known  Soon a Ravens wing will catch the thin edge Bleating rain will lacerate our connection Or simply the wind will rush too hard And like a wire broken from circuit  The energy will dissipate  Like a million icy fireflies  Into oblivion
