Ed’s Notes: Below post is a copy of the page featuring “Spring Bud” which was judged First Place in the recently concluded March 06, 2008 PoetrySoup International Poetry Contest in the USA. Upon the request of some emanilapoetry Writers Group members, Ernesto P. Santiago, also a member of emanilapoetry Writers Group has re-posted his winning entry to this site.

Author’s Notes:

1. This is the original “Spring Bud” in un-shape form. To be more creative, I decided to shape it like a bud and omitted some phrases…to leave the readers think/guess/wonder…

Spring Bud

My (Omitted: Misty Spring… from the concluding lines)

Breathe (Omitted: my imaginations that)

Shivers under

A rug of loneliness

A sleepy heart huddles

Against such memories

Of togetherness and not of

Goodbyes, hating to disperse

The fiery rhymes of your lips

As well as the warmth of its

Sweat…tastes like red wine

Then its beats…and beats

Gently, as it envisions

You, in an early

Misty

Spring

 

 

2. A comment from Mark Pringle, US Poet, Managing Director and President of PoetrySoup: “I love it Ernesto. It has actually inspired me to experiment with my poetry…using verbs as nouns. Kudos.”
