“I should submit it to the Smithsonian Institute it seems” “ Be careful this could all be in your dreams” By the poet to the poet. Euphoric stimulation rushing through my mind, When I read a poem which was quite a find. It dazzled my mind, I felt the poem’s vibration, Did this genius come from some Divine inspiration? Compelled my heart to flutter, breathing quickens. Who wrote this, could it have been Dickens ? Remembering, it was I that these words did utter. Breathing quickens, compelled my heart to flutter. Am I experiencing poetic inhalation, is this a holy grail? Gasping for breath with untold fiasco, an effort to exhale.

How did I miss this dear one - I hang my head in shame. Just read the comments and then went searching for the contest to find …. my dearest pal no 1 !! I’m so sorry but as they say, better late than never … so here I am with even bigger hugs of congratulations ( still feeling guilty) This is such a wonderful poem that so deserves top spot. You have captured the theme so well- the reader gets pulled into the exhilaration of the poet. I think we have all at some time felt this adrenaline that

Wasn't expecting a win on this one D. I wrote a brilliant swap quatrain for it, then read your instructions "No more than 10 lines "!!!! I had to cut it to pieces. .lol ( Maybe its lucky I did ). Thanks my friend its a welcome change from all the NA's i have been getting lately. Best wishes Always your pal Wen.

Omm, inhaling, it took me one breath to read. Just as the contest required. I'm getting into free verse, life's not all rainbows and rhymes for me anymore, lol. Wonderful poetry, definitely divine inspiration!
