Colorful Or Chimera Words - Update Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Constance La France. Date written: 08/30/2023

cornflowers are yawning sapphire blue in a serene meadow. a frangipani... glistens milk white. the wind-stirred trees and blades of grass, youthful green. rays of the midday sun, glorious yellow. a vista teeming with breathtaking colors. what a blessed day the Lord has made! as a mockingbird parrots a celestial refrain, a mantis folds its arms in prayer of thanks.

Before this beautiful tapestry God has unfolded before us, feasting our eyes with colors and beauty, let us also stay with hands folded in gratitude along with the mantis ! Love the concluding lines-"a mantis folds its hands in prayer of thanks." Beautiful poem and beautiful alignment of words, dear Edward.

Absolutely stunning: frangipanis never sounded as beautiful as this ever. And the colors so very well articulated. I love the shape and flow of imagery. You have a way with words really: so profound and captivating
