COMPETITION PROMPT
Write a poem exploring feelings of contentment and satisfaction.
While a large portion of poetry deals with difficult emotions, consider how you can express the opposite side of that.
Time With You
Time with you is like
Biting into a warm chocolate chip cookie
The chocolate oozing hastily
through the dough
Hurrying to sweeten
Any bitterness from my tongue
I hold your hand, sticky stuck to mine
Tickled by the twinkle in your eye
We look up
A warm breeze through the tops of trees
Rushing loudly, whooooosh
Euphoric, we are gripped with awe
And then softened
As the sun slips over our shoulders
Like a jacket made for two
Your feet tip tapping
My body sways with joy
We listen
Little black eyed frogs croak in chorus
Ribbet, rrribbet
Singing silly songs for us
Their balloon bellies filling up with sunshine
Dining on flies without a care in the world
We breathe
Immersed in the scent of warm dirt
And white acacia blooming
The grass grows giddily beneath our feet
As the world turns, reveling in itself
Every time we meet
