Hypnagogic Days

Shrouded in quixotic mist Rolling fields of emerald green Land carved by coral blue Simply, ineffable The chatoyant stream flows Water shifting, mellifluous and giving The glammour of the alblaster chalky frame Impeccably, unstained An ingenue and I, together we played Those simpler times catching fish all day Two wide-eyed kids, "ridin' the waves" Blissfully, unaware With grace and demure; yet cynosure of none Lissome as a fox, my childhood one Twinkling cinnamon gaze and panacea smile Beauty, unrivaled Shrouded in quixotic mist Where the lily petals dance Dreamily solaceful Infinite, sempiternal Unforgettable Her face Unforgettable That place
--- Note: this poem is a response to Silent One's "Unforgettable" 10-word challenge. Many thanks for the support, mate!

Hi Michael, Very interesting. Well structured. I had to get out my dictionary to navigate my way through some of the words. Congratulations. Have a great day. Earl
