Hi PAR, This is a great entry, but it is too long I am afraid. I counted 29 words (excluding a), the competition has a 25 words or less rule. I am sorry if this upsets you. Regards
James

25 words

Look inside, find yourself
Do it for your mind and health
Take a spiritual journey
To peace and self discovery

Avoid harm, find the calm

Memoir on Violence

I ran

because
there was
no map

no road

PAR said:How does one withdraw a post from a competition? Can you help me?

Hi PAR. Click edit on your post. Delete the hyperlink, then just write “deleted” or “removed” or something like that. Then re-submit the edited post. Then the poem itself will disappear from the contest. Hope this helps.

A Gift (of dark soul and heart)

dominance
is soul
heart
a gift
not readily
given

if at all

trust
respect
love

in equal measure
all have
their say

Passage

The armour  
of  
challenged rehearsal  
A plenitude  
of  
constant reflection  
Instilled in newfound desires  
Virginal appetite for order  
Smooth introspection;  
A ledger  
for  
courageous design

Battleground

It all starts with one step.
One heartbeat. One breath.
I am a soldier ready for battle.
No one knows the fight like I do.

Fertile Ground

There's some pain
so transformative
it takes deep root
from ashes
of absolute sorrow

where pure sadness
morphs
to transcend
into
a possible
new tomorrow
