I Know the Land

Listen to poem:

I know the land where the lemon trees flower Where the sun paints a panorama by the hour While its light caresses each curve of the land Dispersing golden rays on sea and sand I know the land with intoxicating blooms Where love and romance forever looms While breezes migrate perfumes and birds Over miles of castles and luscious orchards I know the land where sunsets glow More spectacular than any rainbow With colors only akin to the divine Notorious to inebriate a lot like wine I know the land when it rings midnight The infinite sky fills with stars so bright And the goddess moon makes her ascent Blessing each and all under the firmament Read on air by invitation ~ February 27, 2022 'POETS HARBOUR' AP: Honorable Mention 2022, Honorable Mention 2021, Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on August 2, 2018 for contest EARLY AUGUST 2018 PREMIERE sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 7TH and July 10, 2018 for contest PRETTY POEM PLEASE sponsored by JULIA WARD

This is soooo beautiful, Line! Such fresh, stunning imagery. I'm captivated. It's a fave for me --- not to mention a well-deserving winner (except that I think the list might have been accidentally turned upside down). Best always, Gershon
