How Lush--Sf

the soft expanse of a forest is warmed by breath of sunlight, twirls of fresh aureoles ripen into wildly combed trees, much like gypsy- red daytime cradling a sense of hometown innocence if only to remember one's beginnings.. softly, i lay among a hammock of buds etched on aisles of moist stones and rocks and in the wisp of morning's sigh, i turn into a garment of foliage not knowing how the wind can scatter my breath into grains; to amble in a dance ...till i fall headlong into the lush of content. Succintly Free ( SF) Contest, Andrea Dietrich

Nette, everything charlotte said below here is right. I did not understand why you said lush of content. But everything else was so stunningly beautiful, I had to give it first place. Just gorgeous.

So beautiful. "Hi, actually I just wanted to know if my poem " Lost" that I had entered in your contest" Senses for sestest" is in iambic pentameter or not?. I am really keen on learning poetic forms, and trying to learn myself through various websites. But please kindly guide me on this aspect. Thanks:)
