Hours Crawl When it Hurts
Why does time slow down
when bitterness rots the soul
dragging out the ache
Time magnifies pain
inescapable, troubled
nights last forever
Ecstasy flies by
Joy never lingers for long
It’s a brief season
The sunshine won’t last
Rain clouds on the horizon
Sun too hot to hold

Dialogue Poetry Challenge Winners
Hannah Moore is a first-time grand prize winner with her dialogue poem, On Receipt of Bad News. This was a poem that genuinely engaged both with the exchange of our prompt, but also focussed on the way poetic rhythms of language could support the writer's conceit. It felt very truthful, too, the way one speaker wishes to ignore the news and focus on practicalities; there was a quiet heartbreak, here. Well done.
