The Chase

Here I go again disturbing the den of my unconscious mind,
As if I were a hound and it a fleeing hind.
Still, fawnlike, it eludes my capture.
Only leaving behind a perilous rapture.

I tried to enter the March poetry contest when there was still openings but there seemed to be a problem. I got help from a former poetry.com submitter who believed that the poem "Hind and Hound" had been accepted. This does not look to be the case. What is the procedure? Did I miss something?
