Laura Mckenzie Poet Couplet

Corridors of Fire and Gold

Oh what of these glorious feet will you fly?
Inhaling all your colors so brilliant they daze my eyes 

Bushes of fire put a spell on your mind 
If you gaze at them long enough you will find 

The hand of the Lord came down and dusted the soil 
Brushed to a golden earthly lemon foil 

He turned raw scenery into a pastel picture 
Where it hangs in its beauty as a relished fixture

What an illustrious way to reach your end 
Go down with all the colors you send 

How shortly forgotten your splendor will be 
Blowing in the wind and sadly set free

Nigel Fawcett October 20, 2008 at 4:08 PM Beautiful write Laura, and I love the idea of inhaling colours. Echoing Sharon's words below, a huge thank you for the contest that you sponsored and I am deeply honoured to have received a placing. It's all thanks to Sharon that I found out about your contest and submitted my entry! Love, Nigel

Sharon Winter October 20, 2008 at 1:13 PM Laura, how fleeting is this breathtaking season? Nature truly is miraculous. You have painted a most beautiful and (sadly) transient picture of autumn in motion. Excellent! Laura, just noticed your contest winners on the side here. Thank you so much for the efforts of sponsoring and for the huge honor of placing! Love, Shar xoxo
