Notes About The Poem

Example for the contest

Deep Water In a Sleeping Volcano

Spring sneaks through our path in the wake of hints still left from winter. Snow white pillows have been shoved and scattered. Timeless treasures of floral engagement blooms, earthy perfume plants still entering into our world. Twill nightfall's and an ocean of abstract wildlife settle for the night or feed under the moonlight. The early starlet sun rises with hints of scarlet blush and the pop warmth of tangerine glowing gloss. I crawled out of my warm sleeping bag and small tent reborn from a good night's sleep; into a picturesque cool, and crisp morning on the craters rim to a view of the cobalt blue lake and hot spring. 12/26/2018

The very beginning 'Spring sneaks through our path in the wake of hints still left from winter' is beautiful, and the rest of the poem 'picturesque cool ...'

Ah, your imagery is so telling and satisfying; I had not thought of the snow white pillows in the spring but this is exactly what those remnants of snow remind me of. Well done,Eve!

Thank you, Caren, for your wonderful kind compliment. My husband loved being on the mountain and he'd takes us up there for picnics, besides he'd hunt. I was never a hunter, couldn't stand them killing anything. But, that was the way he grew up , the need for food. Happy New Year! Hugs Eve~`*
