Mine makes eight, glad you extended the deadline, I woke up inspired this morning so spewed a few words for you. Do we get to read them all at the end?

Yes sir, I realize I am (as daddy used to say) " a day late and a dollar short " but I can't locate the winning poem from the last contest. Can you steer me in the longitudinal coordination ?

 

[Hedonist65]

In my personal experience, it can be useful to provide open contests with some kind of keyword, theme or subject, certainly if pre-written works are not eligible for entry.

It might feel counter-intuitive on a surface level, because you're 'limiting' the scope of the entries, but in reality such guidelines often prompt inspiration.

Just my two cents.

Winning entry is here:

Unlabeled
Each neuron that fires
Sparks in my conscious mind
A rebellion of freedom
Dancing on the promise
Of eternal euphoria
Where the absence of bliss
Is just a fading memory
As I run a thousand miles
In every direction
