Lost Moments, we've all experienced them- Something you wish you had said, or not said, a kiss you wish you had initiated, a good-bye you never got to say.
No pedestrian rhyme.
No purple prose.
Show- don't tell.
Imagery and metaphor are what I look for. A poem without imagery and metaphor has no chance of winning.

This reminds me of a quote I've read: "we don't regret the things we've done, rather the songs that stayed unsung".
Will see if I have something for this kind (I do, lol, but I need to find the poetry in it)!
