the heart

"our hearts are monsters" that's what they say.

for they are the ones that lead us astray

they're what breaks bonds and tear up a home

they're what hurt most when we're all alone.

why, you ask I speak this way?

for fate has taught me this the hard way.

hearts are what harbor our truest emotions.

emotions flow free and drive crude actions.

words are spoken and deeds are done.

people are hurt for its too far gone.

sadness falls and loneliness imparts.

who can you blame but your foolish heart?

the worst thing about this silly heart?

it hurts you most and tears you apart.

how funny, Our heart are monsters.

That's why our ribs are cages.

You deserve a first place in the contest. I have participated too and wrote a similar poem titled 'Silly heart'
This poem is exactly what I wanted to convey and you have done it very beautifully with enough facts and rhyme.

The "ribs are cage", provokes thought. Very cool.

new idea in the ending, nice poem, good writing. "Our hearts are monsters or they are the ones who lead us astray-good line n theme of the poem. Try exploring the causes of this monstrous thing, why so?
