***Rushing Waters Contest Winner***

Okay guys! So sorry for the lateness of the results, this has been a crazy week.

But now I would love to announce the winner of the Rushing Waters contest!
The winner is SylviaVeir with their entry 1:10Glacier-fed, you could have been
my final destination
an early grave waiting
to swallow me up.
I got caught in your rapids,
your eddies, your current,
like a cold electrocution
that had me hyperventilating:
asphyxiating on nothing
but air.
But I fought the Reaper
in your waters,
scratched and clawed
for blood, for purchase,
grasping
for dear life
with fingers stiff
and cold
from premature
rigor mortis.
And as hypothermia chased me
downstream: a piranha
or a shark
smelling blood,
you taught me a lesson
in self-preservation,
and the mindless struggle
to survive.

All of the entries were amazing! We loved them all and look forward to reading more.

Also, for a note for the future. If your poem has nothing to do with the theme of the contest, please don't submit it to the contest folder because it makes for more work for the admins and I when we have to sort through the poems and message people about them.

But congratulations to SylviaVeir for winning we look forward to the next contest.

God Bless.
