Placed 1st: Featherless Angels Poetry Contest; Sponsor: Ink Empress

Reverence heard, a compassionate sound of solemn word, Resounds mercy of utmost goodwill, aura-divine spurred, Performing deeds of beneficence, defying malevolence; An epistle of angels on earth conferring gift of benevolence. Such holy angels dwelling among us, are gems quite rare, Purity of their actions proclaim~ how genuinely they care, For the destitute, the hapless, caught in throes of despair, Proffering words of prayer, pleading for hope and welfare. Messengers of peace, hallowed in zeal of virtuous intention, Supernal is their magnificence, never yearning attention, Humble in service to others, dedicated to their missions, Guiding through life’s hurdles, fulfilling human ambitions. Inner harmony echoes from voice of their altruistic soul, Righteous are such missives, sentiments endearing cajole, Rejecting pessimism of fate in bold pursuit of virtuous goal, Of kindness, of amity and love, teachings spiritual extol. Featherless angels, mortals alike us, yet they live on and on, Worshipped for their pious acts, long after they are gone, For legacies of ideals devout, profound passions of heart, For reassurance, inspiration of life, memories now impart.

A FAV for my list, Vijay. The poem really flowed well, my friend. Your descriptions were vibrant and full of actions instead of just words. These angels are exactly what we need more of these days. Thanks for sharing you contest entry with us, good luck in the contest. Bill

Rejecting pessimism of fate in bold pursuit of virtuous goal, Of kindness, of amity and love, teachings spiritual extol...My brother came to mind, having been the most positive during mom’s cancer. When he told us of her sealed fate, we knew we could trust him. God bless you, dear Vijay!

Dear Vijay, you’ve explained and described featherless angels in a very eloquent manner with brilliant rhymes and profound lines that really speaks volumes and would enlighten anyone on what a featherless angel is about, through your word weaving! Your way with phrasing thoughts and the way you’ve played around with words in such an impeccable manner is truly impressive! And i agree they are gems so rare, and if you find one always let them know they are appreciated. CONGRATULATIONS on winning

A wonderful tribute to the unsung heroes of our day. People who go out of their way to help when and where it's needed. These are the true Christians. The ones who LIVE their faith instead of talking about it. Bravo my friend. A fave for me. God Bless, JB

I believe in angels, sang the group Abba. Whether they do or not is up to them. I believe in angels as we read about them in the Bible. And I also pray to my guardian angel. Your imagery is as always the best. A great poem worthy of a high place in the contest. Blessings.

"Featherless angels, mortals alike us, yet they live on and on, Worshipped for their pious acts, long after they are gone," -- wonderful, inspiring positive verse. Very difficult to be in the world...and not of it. Something I battle with daily. Blessings my friend. Thank you for the poignant reminder.

Your poem is beautiful, with translucent words in each verse. The rhymes in the stanzas weave an incredible tapestry of beautiful harmony. You create wonderful imagery as if an exceptional artist etched paradise in your words. While reading your poetry, I feel as if I'm wandering through the sky. The experience is both fantastic and unexpected. Wish you luck with the contest.
