OhMiBod has announced it has selected the winner of its Love Language writing contest, choosing Kaylin Moss, who wrote a contemplative poem called Ruby Red Lullaby.
OhMiBod launched its contest in July to kick off its 15th anniversary celebrations, and Poughkeepsie, New York college student Kaylin has won a $1,000 writing scholarship to assist in her creative endeavors, a box full of OhMiBod pleasure products, and placement on the company’s website home page and socials and customer orders.
“While sifting through the creative submissions, we were struck by the honest and open emotion crafted so beautifully in Kaylin’s work, not to mention the use of music throughout, which is something our products are well known for,” said OhMiBod founder Suki Dunham. “We are proud to introduce her poetry to a larger audience through our Love Language contest, as well as help bring her a bit closer to her future writing ambitions.”
Kaylin’s poem reads as follows:
Dreams which dreamt of dreams could not
Conceive your amorphous matter enveloping mine.
Now all I hear is your ruby red lullaby.
Your lyrics serenade me with a sultry swing beat.
Shuffle pause and repeat but your first song isn’t
Finished and I’m asking for the album.
I wish you were only a song.
I could get sick of you and you could never get sick of me.
We are more than eardrum vibrations.
We are a shared lucid dream.
“Congratulations again to Kaylin for her outstanding work,” said Suki, “we’re excited to see what the future holds for this promising young poet.”
