Captivating Chapters

"Every day is a page to write a new story"

Each minuscule grain of sand
   running rampant through
     hourglass' prismatic time
  at hand, awaiting life's resolve 
   to seize a brand new adventure,
like the dickens' nimbly flair
  enthusiastically captivating chapters
      of a poetically inspired existence 
   amidst everyday's triumphantly 
             conquered reawakening

Each day can become a "conquered reawakening" a new page leading to a brand new story. This was fantastic. Good luck in the contest Paloma.

Yeah, I agree/Justin. I like his description of your style of writing: smart poetry. This poem falls under that category. Great line ... amidst everyday's triumphantly conquered reawakening. You got the gift of poetic gab for sure. No one has a pen that speaks like yours. You're becoming my favorite poetic tool ... you ratchet and torque up my creativity. Thanks a lot. Unique verbal stylings this poem has, Paloma. Cool poem. Love and peace to you.

Wow, Paloma, you must be in a good mood today. What am I to take away from this - that hope really does spring eternal? It's not even scorched-earth.

Seems to me that when you turn your considerable firehose of a mind on a subject, even if there is hot lava coming out of the nozzle, there's still some humor glinting back in there, somewhere. : )
