Gushing In Wonder

GUSHING IN WONDER ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In morning’s pastoral turquoise bliss The isle lies warm in sunset's kiss, On autumn’s gurgle when the sun is low When meadow flowers seem to glow Afloat in a sea of cerulean haze, Setting the cascades for October days The air is breezy with scent of flowers Their fragrance pervading wavelets’ hours, When tides swish with mermaid’s choir And tulips flaunt their seashore attire Then sailing in wonder of dew-swept hairs, Larks ascend into floating prayers in pairs! ……………….. © copyright Contest: Francine Roberts’ Flowing Water Written by: nette onclaud 19 Sept 2011

BEGUILE is definitely in my top 100 words list! I must admit, I am not the hugest fan of Couplets and Form in general. BUT, this one was WaaaY more than tolerable to me. In fact, I read it 3 times, and I will read it again before all said and Done hun! I LUVitAlso, the Rendolet Form struck a CooL high G with me. That is why I wrote that poem for your contest. Well, that, and the fact that YOU always seem to be a very warm soul to me! THANK YOU for your kind words on the poem and 1st Place...WOW!

Mmmmmmmmmm.... now this is what I call a way to start my morning. So much I just sighed over in this piece --- the lark line was a triple read as was the last line... but I am going to want to read it again tonight. Off to get coffee-- out of coffee. BAD VERY VERY VERY BAD TO BE OUT OF COFFEE :-) Hugs Cyndi and I want to see this brilliance in first place.

a poem to bounce my imagination, articulate and thought provoking, had to read a few times as its meanings change within my mind. simple water turned into alchemy by words, only you can achieve this. top stuff.
