Small, but perfectly formed

Poetry Contest Description
Write a poem exactly 20 words in length
Sometimes I think short poetry doesn’t get the credit it deserves.
Write a poem of exactly 20 words. See how much expression and wow factor you can give when you don’t have the luxury of space.
Rules
• New writes only
• Up to three entries per human being
• You can write about any subject, but we’re looking for pieces that pack a lot of ‘oomph’ into few words.
• Poems must be exactly 20 words in length
• Title not counted as part of the 20 words. Hyphenated words count as one word.
2 weeks. Any questions please PM me.
Good luck!

Elusive
Never gone, yet never here
lingering in the recesses
of the mind. Shadowed
by mist of
forgotten thoughts
unattainable
memories.

Joey Laughs in the Rain
The last time I visited
the tree that my son
would’ve climbed had he lived
was when the drought broke.

Keep the light burning
Triad
Sitting ancient wisdom
embuded within smoke rings
passing a connected torch
Slow circular motions
Dawn's curtain slowly rising away

All details count
The fingerprint a lipstick smudge
Sweet evidence you lock away and keep
Not a crime to bleed

RELATIVITY
At the beer fuelled ceilidh
the wild dancers stood still
as the room whirled around
in flashes of bright colours.

RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
Relay metamours’ concerns
Shun drama
Ship myself around
Man between two women
Age like wine
Meant for pleasure, so relax…

HER SHOULDERS
World’s weight on them rests
Thus deserving amorous attention
Captivating twin promentories
Overlooking alluring peaks,
Perfect curves, valleys of enchantment

Perfectly formed
ready to breath
hoping to see
with
newly formed eyes
a guardian
who will stand
proud
and not lie

Rumors On Fire
They couldn’t
Unhear.. the heard
Unlearn.. the learned
Crucifying
The witch
At
Axis;
Instead
I rose like phoenix
From ashes.
