Allpoetry Contest

As some people may have noticed I have practically published all of my poetry on a website called Allpoetry first. It's a nice place to start out for poets.
One nice feature on Allpoetry is that the site allows everyone to hold poetry contests. So I have been holding one of those and would like to present to you the three winners of that contest!
I'll be doing that over the next couple of weeks, depending on how quickly I can get everything together.
I hope you can enjoy their poetry as much as I did!

To make this post a little more substantial, have a nice picture from my youth:

When I first discovered my passion for writing and such, I was maybe 13 or 14 years old. I would spend lots of time after school writing and reading books and listening to music. But I would spend even more time doing all that during my summer break. Because I didn't have to get up in the morning, I basically spend all night up writing and reading and listening to music and eating and being on my mother's slow-ass laptop.

Subsequently, this is what my room looked like during summer breaks. What we see here is:

several, completely non-related books I was reading simultaneously
the charging cable from the laptop
an empty bowl that once contained of some food, probably fruits
a bottle of cheap coke
a binder, paper, a notebook and pens without end
a walkman, earphones and CDs
several clothing item. I have no idea what they were doing there

Take from that what you will. It fueled my creativity at the time.

All the Universes

Light travels fast, light travels far, come and travel with me and with light... far, far away... to the farthest realm... darkness surrounds me, but soon the sky lights up with millions and millions of stars and I am not alone. Oh, sweet cosmic abyss, embrace my poor soul and make me immortal, so I can see... so I can feel... all the universes... all the universes out here... swimming through time until the end of it and the start of a new time in oh so many dimensions... spread out, crumbled up, sticking together, floating, rolling, turtleneck dimensions.

This was an early picture that I took with my mum's first digital camera. I had lots of fun with the macro function in our backyard and in some of the parks in our little town. That was before I was made aware that people would usually deal drugs in those parks and was forbidden to go. I went anyways.

Westport

I took this picture the day before the wedding of one of my friends in 2017. I was at the time still living in Germany and had travelled to Ireland just for the wedding. It was to take place in Mulranny in Mayo. My boyfriend and I had a friend living close by, so we stayed with him for a night and spend the day before the wedding in the town of Westport, where I took this shot (and many more really beautiful ones). If you ever get to Westport or the general Mayo area, you absolutely have to try the Clew Bay Sunset beer. It's a red ale and it's so far the best beer I have ever had. So if you're into beer and are ever there, get it! It's not really available anywhere else in the country, unfortunately.
