Amulet graced by gems
clad for stratum prow

tawny glyphs
margin of witticism

& quagmire

extravagant dictum
trivialize shores trails

summer ousted
& waves of wrangles

sundered the ocean 
& swapped my spirit

in crimson burst
swirl to scatter

In demolishing ruins 
& twilight crumble 
slump of man

glittering Phoenix fire trail
scribble a cyan-xantos rhyme. 
 
bore a shallow rostrum

defective soothsayer 
haunts dreams? 

hilltops & both 
oceans & skies

cyclone of  emotions
&
lethargic sadness
soul storm mulling.

You have created a 'cyclone of emotions' in lofty diction to boot, not easy to be comprehended by average brains! Congratulations on your great win dear friend !

An admirable style you've mastered here, Lasaad, intriguing "lethargic sadness" contrasting message constants! Cheers on your fine win my friend, Aloha~William
