A Poet's Happy Dream

I found myself against a willow propped. The stones nearby me were a hundred-fold. and one by one I tossed them as they plopped into a rill while other pebbles rolled, as if with one accord, away from me. Their hundred ripples bubbled sweet champagne. I drank. . . and then I tasted poetry. saw flowers dance, and nothing was mundane! Elysian then became the air I breathed. The sun glowed purplescent. Hocus-pocus! I lay in greenest green while music wreathed the meadow, lulling me. . . till I lost focus. I woke to dusk and that inquietude that ever shadows my dark solitude. Honorable Mention poem

Great sonnet about finding poetry. Amazing imagery floods our soul, but without it, dark solitude. Beautifully written ~ John
