A moment of Poetic Glory

I entered the Graduate Writing Center's Magnetic Poetry Competition and spent a good 30-45 minutes sifting through the word tiles to create my magnetic masterpiece. I ended up winning the gift card and epic bragging rights. This came after a certain professor in my program told me I "did not write at the graduate level." She failed my Literature Review, questioned my Latinx Identity, and wrote that I would not be given the opportunity to resubmit my assignment. This loss in points would have meant that I could have received a 100% A+ on all of my assignments from that point forward, but the highest grade I was now capable of earning would be a B.

Instead I entered the Poetry Competition, cackled in *English Literature MA* (my first masters from QMUL), and dropped her class. No one needs self-serving "educators" like her in their lives.

Below are some of the entries for the poetry competition. Can you guess which one is mine?
