2012 National Finalist
Writer’s Frenzy
A poet is like a shark
Waiting patiently for its kill
Catching sight of its prey
Words swim through the writer’s mind
It charges into frenzy
Sinking its teeth into words and phrases
Succulent flowers of
Blood and excitement
Gush out into adjectives and similes
Satisfied with a full stomach
A finished poem
