Here are some previous winning poems:
My heart divided
Dreading it all day
only once in a lifetime
Is it my birth mom?
Do I look like her?
Is she tall, skinny, short, pretty?
I am so anxious
People playing drums
firecrackers all night long
buildings all lit up
She is so pretty
I wish I could've had more time
even though it was pouring
I feel so lucky
related to someone alive
What about my birth dad?
I am still BEAMING!
Never will forget that day
My heart divided

Ode to my big black boots
Swing
hip to hip
struttin' it
down the hallway
knee-high
Zzzzzip
black
short skirt
tube top
big black boots

Ocean
What is the ocean?
A cycle, a force.
A routine of waves moving in and out.
A landscape with no explanation,
changing its mind from day to day.
I too change like currents,
shallow and deep at the same time.
Dark and gloomy on some days,
bright and joyful on others.
There is an ocean inside of me.
And in you?

Apple picking
The apples are red, yellow, and gold
One for me, and one for you
Let's divide them all by two!
After that we see the trees
Enjoy the sights before they freeze!
The leaves are red, yellow, and gold
The trees are mossy, big, and old
Hurry home, it's getting cold.
