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
