Defining Poetry. Grand prize in first round of Shooting Star Contest.
A word
         or two or three
                   or a thousand.

Specifically formed
         Shaped by a hand
                   Connected to a heart.

Painful
         And yet
                   So very soothing.

Release of explosive emotion
         Empties the boiling, bubbling cauldron
                   Filled with tears, hidden by a smile.

Escaped from a cocoon
         Transformed to exist separately
                   Yet remain a part of you...
