"adult poetry"

My first poetry contest entry since 4th grade:

“Adult Poetry”


Each entry fits into a category (i.e. adult-poetry) (i.e. child-fiction) (i.e. adult-nonfiction)


Ad ult poe tree


Ad Ult


See how the first word jumps and hooks? It is an orc in the mud-- an irk in the mind


But now the last word, the last word


Poe Tree


It grows small to tall, nice and filled with lights.

This is adult poetry. An entry.

  1. I like this poem, but I don't know why. (And it's very, very difficult for me to admit that I like something contemporary, as you know.)

  2. I know why. Its the Lord of the Rings reference.
