Snowglobe

So I'm entering a poetry contest...I can enter up to four poems and I would love any advice on which poems to enter. I want to get something published, so please, hand over your honest opinion. Please and thank you:)

This one was inspired by my grandparents, even though you'd have no way of knowing that if i didn't tell you. Enjoyyyy.
(Listen to Digital Love by Daft Punk. It's a new favourite.)

Drowning into a pool of security
The crystal clear surface reveals my world
Safe: like a snow globe on my grandma’s shelf.
A wineglass shaken swift
Thumbs pulverize into semiprecious stone
Attention running past me like the blood racing my fingers.
Red water dripping
A facet curing
The background of my life appears dull.
The Little Mermaid plays on repeat
Cashews sit in an aluminum can
A harmonica waits in a cardboard box.
All the while
I’m safe in this world.
Mermaids aren’t real
Cashews can’t kill
Harmonicas don’t walk
There’s nothing to fear.
Red roses arise, thorns prodded under feet
My snow globe is parched
Chilly flakes melt
Thirst dead
Grandma's World
Gone: second in time
Spent: dollar past dime
Poof: swift deaf mime
Tangibility is moderately unreachable.
