And we have a winner! Things were neck and neck there for a while, but the voters finally chose a definite winner. And that is . . .
I'm guessing that one came from the Most Embarrassing Moment category. lol
Second place was "A Special Night" by Kaitlyn Binns
Third place went to "Mexican Mouth Dance" by, yours truly, Karen Hoover.
And for those of you who didn't get to vote, here's a second chance to read the winning poem.
The Day I wanted to Die by Raine Gillespie
Always a tomboy
A woman's body, so young
I played football
with the guys
and tried to ignore the changes
that made me grow up
One day I played in a shirt too tight
I thrust my arms into the air
waiting for the ball to sail my way
and as the ball flew
I felt my buttons go
pop, pop, pop
until my shirt hung open
exposing my womanly fo
rm to any who looked
The ball hit the ground and bounced
a pass failed but I no longer cared
Panicked, I turned away and buttoned up
But never again
did I play football
with the guys
