August contest winner
The august contest winner is Rula for her rare concrete or form poem. Close runner up was raj. here's rule's poem. Join me in congratulating her
They ask me "why did I love
YOU," I say why not YOU built in me
forts; YOU constructed insuperable castles
of trust, YOU turned my quiet breaths to musical
notes, my everyday words turned to lyrics of lullabies
and elysian songs, the hazy eyes then, now draped
in dappled canvas, reflecting colors of YOUR
metaphorical brush, my dry, thirsty lips start-
ed a rich flow, a fountain of ink, I started
to rock and roll on words like
I love YOU. YOUR hearty
world has put in mine
the meaning
of the real
art

I did a copy and paste but it didn't copy right. I'll get with the tech guys and see what I did wrong

Request to Rula
Since form was also a factor besides of course your poem to be the winner...may I request you to have a blog of how to do the form so others like me can learn it...
