Idyllic

Written: July 26, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Quote: "Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults." by Rumi **************** The oak tree is lit up with spots of light, Leaves bend and spin in a zephyr cloak sprite. My head is full of hope-related views, A hushed cobalt lake has stone toes in hues. Sun shines brightly through rods of flaxen flame, A buzz surrounds—no day's inklings will maim. I grasp long-buried schemes from this staid trunk, And draw the seams of broken dreams in bunk. A bird's wings are knotted as it flies low, Swans soar on a green world lit by pearl glow.

outstanding imagery and flow to your poem, dear Sotto! The scene you've created is indeed Idyllic with some poignancy in the 2d verse. Well done & best wishes with the contest, Sara
