Winners' Piece From Writers

Insight regarding some writing

WITH A SMILE IN MY HEART

Sometimes I can’t find the words. That fills my messy head. Can’t find the effort to smile or get out of my bed. The world just sometimes feels like I don’t belong, and even when I make the effort, a smile just doesn’t last long.

MY OLD PEN

Hugging my soft pillow. As I gather my lost shattered thoughts.

I reach for my pen My best friend, my old fellow. How much I turn to you. The only one who knows me deeply.

 

TRANSCENDENCE

When an imbalance of life churns hapless poignancy

And the zephyr of inequities breezes melancholy

Dissonance reverberates echoing the pathos of grief

Seeking exaltation within metaphysical profundity
