I agree! I never win contests, including ones that require a LOT of work, but was inspired by this one because the prizes were fanTASTic AND it was only 200 words. It was fun! ๐Ÿ˜€

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment! I had no idea people would even enjoy it. I just wrote what came to mind, did a little revision, and submitted it! The biggest hurdle was overcoming the fear of rejection, the fear of losing, and the fear of what people might think. Clearly, we should all be courageous more often!

Thank you, Kathy! I wish I could say all the meaning was their while I wrote the poem but most of them only began appearing after I finished.
