JUNE CONTEST- A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
First, I’d like to give a big shout out to everyone who participated in this month’s poetry contest! There were over 40 contest entries and I had fun reading them. Before I announce the winners, let’s recap for those just tuning in.
June’s poetry contest theme was “A picture is worth a thousand words”. Here’s how it worked. I posted a picture (shown below) and the contestants used that picture as their inspiration to write a short poem. The range and interpretation of their poem is only limited by their own imagination.
Here’s the picture,
I had some GREAT entries and I’m impressed with the creative interpretations the contestants shared!
Alright, the moment you’ve been waiting for. . .
The winners for June’s Poetry Contest are
Allana Lopez from San Antonio, Texas
and
Katie McGahan from Carlington Heights, Illinois
Their poems are below,
UNBOUND
by Allana Lopez
Oh, I have not reached that point,
That bound part of earth.
It has ensnared the radiance of the surface.
And Oh, how bitter a thing,
To be trapped in the dirt,
The mulch of decay and rock,
Everlastingly bound to the ancient
Stagnant bottom beneath me.
My feet scrape the edges,
Billowing dress like the sea
Clinging to the rock holds,
The crevices and crannies.
And oh, my fingers tear at the earth,
Savage impatience and anxiety ensued,
And my limbs tremble from the force,
Oh that force that drives towards freedom.
The light penetrates and at last
Captivity
by Katie Mcgahan
My refuge a hole
To bury my soul
The wrath of my shame
Calls me by name
Reaching out toward the light
Dreading the horrors of the night
Gripped by fear
Drowning in despair
Tears cascade down my face
Far beyond the reach of grace
The irony of wearing white
Grasps me with all its might
Snared by the tendrils of a tree
A prisoner am I to be?
I lost my voice........
Do I truly have a choice?

I’m Linda Louise, one of the bloggers on this website and Colleen’s little sister. I’m just a girl in her mid-thirties who feels thirteen when I play outside with my boys, fifteen when I sing my heart out listening to tunes while driving by myself, and sixty five when I go out past ten at night. I have a thing for junior mints, Mt. Dew, shrimp and kale (though not all at once) and I have a crush on Superman. I still get girlish butterflies when I read Twilight, cry when I read These is My Words, and smile from ear to ear when I read Anne of Green Gables. I have nightmares about aliens on a regular basis and I have a bad habit of midnight snacking. I love everything sports, except golf (although can that honestly be considered a sport??), and I hate anything that slithers, hisses, or stings. I have a problem with giggling at inappropriate moments and I sometimes wish life was a musical. I love science, hate math, love Dr. Seuss, and hate olives. My family is my world and my joys come from their happiness. I’ve learned I don’t know much about anything and I live for a good adventure, naps, cuddles, stories, exceptional food and The Shire.
