Altar

The prompt for this poem is 'altar'.

Do not use the word as the title.
The word must be in your poem.



What I want from you:

A short poem.
Beautiful (abstract) imagery!
Originality.



Some examples from -echos lament- to give you an idea of what I'm asking for:

  • Final notes:
    First off, let me say that I did enjoy reading all of your entries

    There wasn't as much original imagery and experimentation as I would have liked... but there were some pieces that really stood out - and I hope that you would all check out the top five! It was a hard one to judge - you all did well

    Stay smiling everyone - and I hope to see you in other contests of mine!
