Notes About The Poem

 

Eternity

Eternity ensues to mount	
from fertile vale above the mist.
Traverse the river past the turn.

Calm at the perpetual fount
and steady forth into the fist
of heady sun-struck silent burn. 

Encounter rare beauty to count 
and serenely sense heaven-kissed
soft, silent aerie space to yearn.

Drift in God’s righteous paramount, 
true philosophic pantheist.
Sup of all tantamount to learn.

The universe is elegance.
Be within it with vigilance.

Imagery of beauty and truths behold in your poetry bold and clearly we must worship our divine universe. A righteous doctrine, Linda!

You've used some epic sized adjectives to describe a heavenly paradise. Great images, with this masterpiece.

Is this your Entry for E words Linda? or A description of image number one in the Trilonnet contest? A use of vibrant vocaulary and spectacular images, make it such a lovely poem to read. I am sure its will be a sure fire hit in either challenge. Well done, it set a high standard, as your poems usually do..

I wrote it for the Trilonnet contest but have not entered it because I don't want a NA for not putting the date, contest, sponsor, yada on the poem. I have another entry for the Entry for E contest. I revised the syllables as Jo recommended, and I revised my reply to Paula ma'am. :))
