The poem that won the contest
was long and involved
with unfamiliar phrases
linked together
like prose
A photo of the author
showed a twenty something
with her blonde hair gleaming
in a halo of light
and youthfulness
It had seemed important
to submit my one good poem
but reading last year's winner
caused me to climb down from my pedestal
and retreat into obscurity from where I had come
