By the Water's Edge

Beloved bohemian bucolic bluegrass 
Yielding yonder yellowed younger yesterdays

Tattered thoughts travel to the twilight temple 
Hillside hoisted homage of honeysuckle happenstance
Elusive enchanted elixir emanates exquisitely 
 
Whispered wisdom while waltzing walkabout
Aromas adrift awaken avid awestruck angels 
Trembling trees transcend tacit timelessness
Entwined embrace enamored encounters 
Romantic ritual of rhythmic rippling reverie 
Stunning stage sacred sanctuary secluded 

Epitome of enlightened effervescence emerges
During dusk dangling dreamy delectable delights
Guileless gracefully guarded gem’s glow
Exploring enigmatic edge’s ephemeral essence

Brilliant Acrostic Alliteration; still the imagery here is vibrant and this unrolls like a canvas one is about to re-stretch for hanging. I wouldn't have thought this would've worked out so visual but it did. Brilliantly done. Good luck in the contest.
