Wonderful poem about the possibilities that abound in poetic experience, which is almost any experience as you point out. One significant attribute that attracts me to poetry is the pictures my mind creates when I read someone's poem. Your poem produces meaningful pictures for me.

This is not only true, it is beautiful! Your last two lines are my favorite, although I enjoyed every line of this contest entry.
Just a gentle suggestion, because your rhyme is so great and 'on beat'...line 6...Search the corners of your mind could be better on the beat if it was ...In corners of your mind...or just take out 'the.'
This is a real contender for the contest I think! Good luck!
Some people do not like suggestions. I meant no disrespect to your words at all!

The objective correlative of the poem reminisces life as poetry.

The work highlights the various happenings and sights of life as constituting the condiments for poetry.

The work earns its texture through its consonance with the rhyming objective of the contest.

Excellent work. Wishing you the best in the contest.

You have used several literary techniques that will draw the reader in. You have strong metaphors. The s's effect many things. The list is long as it weaves throughout the poem. This is well orchestrated.
