Hmm! The first time I read the poem, I felt blank and I knew that was off, I mean these are the winning poems! So I decided to come back later and here am I today💌 i must confess these poems left me with a feeling. A feeling to feel and write what I feel. Good job everyone and congratulations to the winners.

Going through the poems by Damilola, Edwardson and Okwesili. Their poems showed a clear and good use of diction and imagery. For me, it's a good thing. Reading the poems opened my eyes to the price of success as seen in the poem Miracle by Damilola.
