Challenge
Poetry contest. Twenty word minimum. First place will be decided based on the poem, of course, though the number of comments posted by others will be factored in (critiques or praise, no one word or three word quickies) and those who comment should "like" it to keep the judges looking for updated reads. Write a poem about anything. Aim for the gut. Winner gets $100.

craving for your attention
begging for your affection

but you made it so easy for me to love you
it’s 4am and the feelings never change
I think of you, wanting to hold you
life isn’t simple when you’re in love
but I’d rather go insane then not be yours
