Contest Shatter by CarolDesjarlais at All poetry

Free Verse write something fresh and new from the far edge of this prompt

Contest is Over

Contest was judged on April 30, 2008
Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 2 people
Final notes:
those of you who know me, know how I always look for hope and healing in poetry. I do not deny there is a dark side, but prefer to be uplifted rather than drug down. I did not remove poems that I felt do not belong in my contests, for I take it that the entrants know little of me , my writing, and my contests.

Thank you winners for showing me, not telling me...thank you for the far-edge writing, and thank for for the honest thoughts on different kinds of shattering.

Before Shattering...

our sleeping bodies
floated through the cavern maze

Orchestrations of glass laying mosaic over a tiled floor.

Lines upon my skin

Those pen ink lines upon my skin, are not a form of threat.

I Did it to Myself, When I Kept Believing.

Shuttering as the wind brushes my face
Hiding in the shadows of yesterdays mistakes

the way the door is hung

I could have used a window in the door
Can never quite remember wether to push gently
