Best Titles: Flying High


Flying high,
I am a poet
stepping through time;
captured
into the light.

Come find me... 
come dance with me 
full circle
on horizon's edge; 
above and below
here and beyond
into the blue.

Like parallel dimensions...
a grand design.
See, feel and embrace 
gems of reality:
metamorphosis 
heavenly symphony
cosmic tune.

Where are you earth?
Just a thin blue ribbon.
Element of earth,
pendulum, of time and space;
night sky
galactic soup
nothingness.

But oh, my fear,
we rulers of the earth,
as we look to the sky;
the relativity of beyond,
flying high.

You have some wonderful titles and you wove them so beautifully into your winning poem Sandra :-) It is quite a challenge. I found the contest inspirational and wrote 2 poems in the end, one which was bawdy and the other was a much more suitable poem for the contest. I'm hoping LuLoo will read the other poem:-) hugs jan xx
