Poetry Palace

 
Poetically poised on a dainty hill
Overlooking ever blue seas
Eagerly awaiting this surreal ILLUSION
Turrets made of imaginative calligraphy 
Ruins that echo CREATIVITY 
Yearning to belong in this poetic home

Paddle your toes in the moat of letters 
Allowing the INFUSION of words to make a sentence 
Listen to beautiful melodic lyrics in the great hall
Attic of ancient and famous sonnets ghostly sing 
Carrying you EVENTUALLY to high emotional state
Ending up, it's INEVITABLE that you live forever on the dainty hill


By Emma Buckeridge
For contest "Poetry Palace"
2nd place win

    Emma you took yours to a whole different level, quite brilliant I would so.. So many highlights but the "Attic of ancient and famous sonnets ghostly sing" stood out for me.. Wishing you all the best for the contest ;)

    I love the description of the palace with famous sonnets sung by ghosts and turrets of imaginative calligraphy. Very clever use of the words and also very beautifully penned, Emma. Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn

    emma, I love how you made this all about the palace. One of the best I have seen so far. Very creative just like the ruins you write of in your poem.
