Poetry Soup Premiere Contest winner MOTHER'S DAY poetry contest sponsored by Benjamin Bartley, April 2025 Morning starts early, before it gets light Opening cupboards, to see what’s in store Teachable moments, with wrong versus right Hope grabs the car keys, then heads through the door Early bird children, are making their way Ready to take on, another school week So many hurdles, to...

Merrily, my soda hopped, skipped …rolled merrily along, jumping hurdles of falling leaves, sloping t’wards steep driveway. The bottle, fizzing, shaken up - merrily, as I watched it’s descent, hoping it would stop, not hop the boundary. My neighbor, not the sort to laugh. Congregation of leaves held it back, so no disaster. Merrily I retrieved....

THE HURDLES: Explain this won't be a devour, As all this while you considered a diva. He'd set hurdles, Eva... Which's breeding woes and fever. I know you understand that's not trivial, From the university of life, I have become a keeper. Don't wish you fail so I remain liberal.

Wondering why life can't be simple, I look forward and see hurdles, I look back and see the start line, Inches before I started. Wondering why life can't be straight, I look forward and see alternatives, I look back and see wrong choices, Yet choosing which to take, Maybe this or maybe that. Wondering why life can't be happy, I look forward and see despair, I...

THE UNDYING ASPIRATION. Looking around for something Searching about to see anything Now I found a thing Just to realize it was nothing. I search for it in the sky Limited my dreams to my sight Lifted my eyes and all I could do was to sigh At the twinkling stars popping in the sky. Then it seemed I was engaged in a duel All...

THE TENSED ENVIRONMENT. Hurdles come in between My teaching and preaching About keeping and maintaining The beauty of my horizon. Little did I know That my thoughts were unknown To my users whom I bestowed My body and soul. I have been trying everything within me To make them understand what I mean But they all seem to be numbs and indeed A caricature of...

hurdles - a bunch of needles poking us, to make us hitch our wagon to a star, makes us to be sure of ourself; and pats us to vie for romp to victory hurdles finds where the shoe pinches, now i am not a shrinking violet, as for me passing hurdles is like taking candy away from baby life without hurdles is baby...

Some thought his mind to be a tender leaf, Yet only he knew ... the battle in his mind: How oft' his mind did seek some sigh of relief From wits that grieved – a burden he did find. Pen like a wild beast, fretted his right hand, And fingers did try to tame it,...
