Long Way From Home
Left my home far away
Where did I leave it
In my mind where I cant get to it reach it
In the closet maybe
In a box hidden
Under moms blue blanket
Behind fuzzy scarves
Stacks of cowgirl hats and rhinestone bags and belts
Purses gloves baseball caps
Sunglasses galore
Photographs in albums
Kodak cameras
Compact digital discs Polaroid snapshots
Antique record player
Let it stay in there
This poem is a double ennead form for Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge. #tankatuesday

My favorite poet Emily Dickinson sent her poems to The Atlantic Monthly Magazine in 1862. Editor Thomas Wentworth Higginson promptly rejected them. Emily suffered deeply from the rejection. What did Emily do when she received the news that the editor was not interested in her writing? She wrote even more poems! Emily turned something negative into something good. The communication between the editor and writer turned into a relationship based on poetry that lasted for many years.
If there`s a chance the winner might only receive a virtual pat on the back, why do people enter writing competitions? They might lose. Sending your writing to a competition involves risk. What if no one acknowledges you and you contact the magazine to see who won? I did that. (I still do!) Sometimes, only Grandma and your husband will know you won that gift certificate or a Famous Writers tote bag. Do it, even if all you win is a note saying your work is promising.
A writing competition is where a person submits a piece of writing by the deadline following the submission guidelines and paying a fee. Different publications and contest sponsors have varying standards. The judges likely have favorite things to look for or that one thing that catches their eye. Judges may have diverse lifestyles, experiences, or education. Submissions are often read first by assistants before sending their choices to the judge. Prizes may include money, from ten dollars to thousands. Your writing could win publication. The prize could be a subscription to the magazine or a free course. Don`t forget that part where your name appears in print. If you`re lucky, your photo could be featured. The word "winner" looks good on a resume.
One of the best things I said to myself after I lost a prestigious contest was "I`ll show them! Just wait until next year. "
Even losing a competition for creative writing at the county fair caused me grief. "They`ll be sorry. The State Fair has a better prize anyway!"
