Heaven

The scent of jasmine in the evening breeze,
The glory of colors in autumn trees.
Love poems to enchant my impassioned heart
Sculptures, paintings and all forms of great art.

To hear children's laughter, play with them too 
Music of my choice that sings the day through.
To have animals to love and to hold
A floral garden with hues bright and bold.

Mountains in vistas that takes breath away;
Bathe in blue lagoons at end of the day.
Eat favorite foods and not gain any pounds
Never to argue, feel love that abounds.

To be with my soulmate, never feel blue,
To never grow old and keep healthy too.
Play any instrument I so desire
Raise my vibration higher and higher.

To meet up with kin and friends I have lost
For the price of dying , not a great cost;
Heaven is worth all the treasures on earth
With a wealth that consists of precious mirth.

Dancing with angels by light of the moon
Enchanted by magic until I swoon.
A sunset that lasts to put me to sleep... 
Feel cherished by God and graced by his keep!

Connie, I just knew yours would score high because you did exactly what was asked by the judge: to DESCRIBE heaven. I simply cannot imagine how it will be, so I kind of went off on a tangent. AT least I got my lucky 5 for placement. haha. Congrats. Yours was a very worthy win.

Absolutely beautiful, Connie! You've got a winner here for sure! Why wouldn't anyone not want to strive for the love and peace you describe - I'm certainly trying! I can't thank you enuff for considering the Autumn poem worthy of one of your favs - I'm honored and if we "bards" can elicit some emotion, than I guess we've done our job - Bob

I prefer your vision of Heaven to that of getting a virgin in return for slaughtering innocent women and children. Keep writing! Aloha! Rico
