Ethereal or Expedition Words Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Constance La France

1st place in the contest

The water lily mirror is her window which she shares with frogs In the woods, where wild flowers and herbs grow She greets the sun at dawn washing his golden locks in the morning dew Few have seen her, but many had heard about her The sound of willow whistle her song in an unfamiliar language - the same song every night as a ritual perhaps component of a ceremony During the day she remains silent Her woven wings in ethereal beauty supernatural flies with the wind Nature provides us with answers if we listen, look and believe

"Nature provides us with answers, if we listen, look and believe" Indeed.. Only if we are willing to breathe in the moment, listen to the echoes and believe.. This poem is such a captivating dimension with beautiful word choices "washing his golden locks in the morning dew", "water lily mirror", " Willow whistle" Wow! So gorgeous, best of luck for the contest :)

Anne, I'm so captivated by the ethereal beauty, the voodoo, and the sheer magic that emanated from your enchanting poem. In complete agreement, I firmly believe that nature holds the key to unraveling life's mysteries, should we only embrace its wisdom. Bravo, your exceptional talent shines brilliantly through this masterful creation.

Your poem was fascinating, enchanting, and magical. The last two lines, though, were powerful. I agree, nature provides us with answers if we believe. Well done.

"She greets the sun at dawn washing his golden locks in the morning dew" -- Superb imagery. The entire poem is beautiful. Not too fantastical for me, for I have seen fairies and angels, have sat with mystical guardians (a spectator only) and believe in their eternal purpose more than the seasonal, time-stamped, so called real around me. k4u
