Thank you for taking the time to read this post, don’t forget to like, share, follow and enter this comp before Tuesday!!!!
Best of luck to you writers,

If I may ask, Why do you choose judges with many followers? I’m just curious. Do you consider them a better judge as a result of the number of their followers?

Well I don’t mind if Judges with no followers judge or anyone, but I want to make sure that the person is fit enough to judge. I can’t have just anyone judging, or it may not be fair.
I trust you, so if you want to judge, I don’t mind! 😊

Anyways, it is your blog, and your choice.
Thanks for the offer, but I can’t be a judge. I’m not a poet.

Hello Phoenix. I have a doubt regarding the prompt. Do we need to write on something that made us smile or something that makes us happy?

Hello Phoenix. How are you? Here’s me entry. This poem is entitled “Cotton Clouds”. Here it goes-
I have been trapped in my home for ages
When one day, I decided to go down for cycling
I looked up at the sky and I saw you
I don’t know how but my gaze had fixed upon you
You looked like cotton floating in air
Oh you looked so surreal-
high up in the sky and just enough for my imagination to touch you and feel a bit of the cotton mush.
I saw you floating you looked as soft as cushion
I could feel how heavenly your body looked, as I admired you, even the sky blushed.
I felt I could reach you.
I stretched my hand, trying to grab you
Trying to feel a bit of the cotton-like-thing you are
But all my hands grabbed was empty air,
No matter how far I tried to stretch
I turned away disappointed
But your sight made me smile, yet again.
I kept gazing for as long as I could
I could see a bit of myself in you
I know that’s odd- but it’s also true
I could see formations engraved in you
And how they kept changing as I shifted my view.
