Compétitions…

Once in a while, there are poetry competitions on Wattpad. I admit, I am not very competitive, that doesn’t stop me from taking part. Mind you, I never won, but the challenge of using words or prompts is one I like. Here are 5 poems I entered in a competition this year.

Prompt: poet.

---

Prompt: hands

---

Prompt: clown

---

We received a list of words. The ones in bold were the ones I used.

---

The same list of words was used

---

Again, I never won. I am not bitter, but I know that I am not a bad writer. If I thought lesser of my writing skills, I would have stopped writing by now. Which in turn sounds conceited.

Why is life this complicated? And why do I twist my own words?

Any thoughts on those poems? Any inspiration maybe?
