Ambrosian Sycophancy

Listen to poem:

Written: May 13, 2023 3rd contest winner ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lichen lilies lavishness, outwardly shine as canorous core, an idyllic sight of buds bursting a ballet of aromas filled the sky, as dulcet spring hues dump down. Butterflies seduce with trellised wings amid ethereal sapphire mist of Elysium, I tossed my amorous nexus gloss, countless metaphors emerge an abyssal-rooted niche of insight, a sporadic charm is startling and delightful. At sunrise, red orioles flutter garden spring on my balcony, ushering with cheerful chirps. Emerald lime stains all that, wild geese honk loudly, ebbing from tropic migration a cluster of violet fern flowers zestful azure azaleas vibrant daffodils are in bloom fluffy tulips in all their glory buoyant spring hues aurify the clay. Beyond that, there is no bounds amid hypnotic Eve and pinnacle from a charmed sight my gaze is wide and riveted, through this impressive display, an exuberant plethora of shades glistening on rain-washed skin, sky-smitten, diaphanous blithe melting into mesmerizing shapes strange sights subdue my mind, as my heart beats with delight, emerging from its hushed cocoon. a vision of ageless grace. Initiating sensory stimulation. witness the marvelous artwork. carefully crafted by a skilled hand to bequeath a masterpiece beaming with the spirit of love a mesmerizing charm a live sculpture in motion & a pure symphonic melody embrace a cosmic radiance amidst a celestial daydream, dazzling in a blaze of sequins my heart is yearning, an enthralling rhythm echoes within optimism surrounds splendor this exquisite ruffle relic, a morphing metaphor draws on forever clarifying the layout of magnificence. Beads of lilac amethyst observe a lunar synodic cycle debunking twilight desultory musings an auric haze wrapping jubilant jewels are in motion I am an awe-struck artist weaving a quilt of love, a dazzling aura of shining words playing a whispering debate under dulcet moon glow In unique words, stars are willing to shine for us our love outshines all else even most dazzling clusters, an equally bright radiance all over, a billion red diamonds under oriental lily skies.

SP, you make being alive sound almost better than it really is. You have a way to make the beauty of nature seem absolutely wonderful. It's very inspiring. I am thinking about the title and why you use sycophancy, which seems to suggest that the creator of all of this has almost overdone it. Just a thought that is making me smile inside. IF I am correct, you have one heck of a sense of humor!!! .

Well done...your poetess friend in Texas, Sara
