First Place

Blindspot Massage

the trees stand in simplicity in dignity and grace rich in elaborate decoration with details woven the forest stilled energy in an otherworldly serene reality calm as innocent squirrels play and birds sing vast the scale of green with a blue sky of wind driven clouds instilling contemplation a half hidden stream a vista of distant hills mood and atmosphere of perfect nature isolated beneath the canopy of trees a rushing torrent a wooden bridge water crashing on time- worn rocks twisted trees ragged high cliffs

What a splendid picture this lovely poem created. Almost like a secret hide-away, within the forest where animals and birds can frolic unhindered, protected by nature. Beautifully written for the reader to so easily appreciate. Congrats on such a well deserved 1st place. Best wishes for 2024, from Wen.

reading your poem brought a feeling of peace that comes from being in nature...'instilling contemplation.' You've captured nature beautifully with serenity and grace. Reading it reminded me of a nature painting. Am faving...have a great week, Sara
