Oasis, Oblivion, Odyssey Words 
Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Constance La France

1st place in the contest

Could it be thoughts, images in my head or dreams painted with colors in acrylic and water that keeps me upright in the storm in tough times and desert wanderings Sensory impressions in the awake state with pleasure, expectations embroidered in artistic decorative stitching An amphitheater oasis that is reflected in the water mirror early morning with plenty of time, peace and tranquility Discover the giant beech trees which climbs boldly up toward the sky Carefully tread on the metre-long carpets with white and blue anemones Picking gold in the forest, the chanterelles, for breakfast Listen to the enormous variety of birdsong as I rest on the bright green moss

What a lovely experience walking through the grove of giant beech trees and resting on the green moss laced with white and blue anemones, listening to lovely bird songs. Simply heavenly, dear Anne.....! Love and hugs.

In the water mirror! How beautiful is that. You have a way with writing in such a descriptive manner that evokes so many thoughts and awakens senses as we read, and see and feel through your word weaving! Pleasure reading you after a long time: best wishes for the contest. I hope 2024 treats you well
