Poetry Contest Description
Write short form poems about every day objects
I've been reading ALL the short forms of poetry lately: haiku, senyru, tanka, micro poems, insta-poems, and twitter poems. I LOVE powerful punches in short amounts of space. I like to write them, I like to read them.
So....
I want short poems about your prized possessions. Tell me why they are prized. Why they are special. Who gave it to you. Tell me ALL about it.
In 40 words or less.
Here's the nitty gritty:
1. Write a poem, in 40 words or less, about your most prized possession.
2. Title your poem.
3. I won't say you can't write erotica, but keep it PG please.
4. If you'd like to use a specific form, go for it. But I'm not being picky. Just no more than 40 words.
5. Share your poem from your page, don't copy and paste it here. If you need help figuring out how to do that, just ask and I'll help you out!
6. Three entries per DUP persona. You don't have to do three entries. But you can do up to three.
I think that's it. Questions? Ask away! I can't wait to read your entries!

Guardian Owl of Tourmaline
guardian owl of tourmaline,
your palm-sized purpose
reveling in reconciliation,
carved compassion etched
upon intricate feather;
a gift most precious
given when our love
was still a thing
I’d swear by
your palm-sized purpose
reveling in reconciliation,
carved compassion etched
upon intricate feather;
a gift most precious
given when our love
was still a thing
I’d swear by

The Spectacular Nature of Modern vs. Vintage
Staring at my vintage watch circa 1965
Stainless Steel was real back then
Not like the plated shiny shit
they use today
Our modern world
is an imitation of its once great self
Insist on quality
You'll never go wrong there
I'm an older bloke
I see reality for what is
Not so much sentimental
Just pragmatic as the day is long
Stainless Steel was real back then
Not like the plated shiny shit
they use today
Our modern world
is an imitation of its once great self
Insist on quality
You'll never go wrong there
I'm an older bloke
I see reality for what is
Not so much sentimental
Just pragmatic as the day is long

A millimetre hung under the mezzanine
Just as a pin on the map.
I pick you up,
unkissed; shy sunrising rock.
I pick you up.
The break-in on the abandoned school;
the drunken invasion of an archeological site
I picked you up.
Aegean, pleiadian care-worker;
indelible.

onyx'd ancestry.
A generational tender beauty,
aged in precious;
Gram's ring—
She raised her namesake well
Then he passed it down,
per requested wish;
Firstly worn, to match my funeral attire
O' how it shone......
Her light echo'd through all the darkness

Big Ass iPhone
They gave me a monster iPhone at work
Like getting a cock enlargement
Baby you can drive my car
Ultra bad lieutenant
