Anne E Sangster - K Poet Rhyme

I Breathe In

I breathe in crisp air on a white winter's day,and in summer, the scent from freshly cut hay.

I breathe in sweet fragrance from lilacs in June,and the breathtaking view of a red harvest moon.

I breathe in sea droplets as waves kiss the shore,and the perfume from flowers that bloom by my door.

I breathe in awe at our dear mother Earth,and her seasons and cycles of growth and rebirth.

I breathe in knowing we're connected to all,from the trees to the mountains and raindrops that fall.

I breathe in the love shared by all living things,and I exhale it back, and this makes my heart sing.

I breathe in faith, when my last breath is gone,that I transition home, where my spirit lives on.

Ann Peck February 2, 2025 at 9:14 AM Oh, Anne. This is just beautiful. Your rhyming is wonderful, too. I especially love: "I breathe knowledge in knowing I am connected to all..."

I love the descriptive manner youv written this artistic and evocative poems flowing in such an eloquent manner: especially loved “ I breathe fragrance from lilacs and roses in June and the breathtaking view of a red harvest moon.” Just captivating and gorgeous!

My heart sings that you enjoyed reading this and I'm very thankful you sponsored this contest as it inspired me and fellow poets write wonderful poems. Sending hugs and smiles to you. Anne :-)

Andrea Dietrich November 22, 2024 at 11:57 AM I hope you wrote a new one. Had the contest closed? This one was so nice Anne E Sangster - K November 23, 2024 at 12:32 AM Hi Andrea, I'm happy you liked it :-) I worked on re writing it and think it works better now but it looks like my orginal version already went through to Ink and can't be changed. Thanks again for checking in. Hugs Anne xox

Terry Flood November 20, 2024 at 3:15 PM Enjoyed this, Anne. I wonder if you were hasty pulling it from the contest… after all, each line begins ‘I breathe in’. I noticed that the contest has reopened, possibly because you vacated a space. If it were me, I’d jump straight back in there, after all, an N/A never hurt anyone. Terry Anne E Sangster - K November 20, 2024 at 4:49 PM Thanks Terry, I took your advise and jumped back into the contest. Like you said, N/A never hurt anyone. Cheers my friend :-)

Andrea Dietrich November 18, 2024 at 9:50 PM This is very beautiful. Was it meant for the current contest . The sponsor wants a word coming after I Breathe, but this isn't necessarily for that contest. Gorgeous writing Anne E Sangster - K November 20, 2024 at 12:38 PM Thanks Andrea, for the heads up in the contest rules. I should have read it more carefully, but none the less, it did inspire me to write so I'm happy just to be writing again. I deleted my poem from the contest as I don't want to change it. Best of luck to you in the contest. Hugs Anne xox Anne E Sangster - K November 19, 2024 at 4:59 PM Thank you so much Andrea :-) I'm happy you enjoyed my Breathe poem.
