Abstract Poetry #31 -Dirt For Diamonds-

What does this picture (above) and the quote "..Dirt for Diamonds.." inspire you to write? It is my hope it will be something that will tease me until I can figure it out. Something abstract and metaphoric.

So that is your challenge.

Be abstract
Be metaphoric
No rough housing

EDIT!

If you are the Gold winner, I will send you a messege with a request to create a video review of your poem, which will be shown in a column along with further critique by myself, Dr. Cube. Of course, all of your work will be credited appropriately.

Also, the winning poem will be suggested to be shown in the spotlight on the Front Page, courtesy of Dr. Cube.

Final notes:
Congrats to the winner, and as well to the others that entered this contest. I am glad to see a big turn out. Some pieces entered the contest within a day or so upon posting it, while others scatterd throughout the 2 weeks. All in all I was well impressed with each one.

To the winner, after this is submitted I will message you about your other prize.

A note to all those interested in entering the next contest. I will be limiting all contests to only 10 entrants AND you have only 1 week to enter rather than 2.

That is all thank you for participating.
