Lacustrine Opera Premiere Contest Winner

In the pristine jade landscape
the terrain rolls undulating...
the panorama of pristine cadence,
on its entrenched earthen cradle
shaped for a serene lake…
sublimely supine sparkling,
the sapphire crystal face looks up
toward the cerulean sky...
mesmerized.

The gliding southern zephyr
whispers an enticing melody
to the dancing ripples…
intensely passionate concentric rhythm,
sliding on the slithering shadows of trees,
lining the contours of the lapping shore...
adorned.


The wavering lotus leaves float
on the vibration of pulsating fervor,
the full bloom scarlet flush of flower
makes the collage of a fiery tapestry
with the feathers of flaming flamingos,
their ballerina legs wading
the emerald waters in avian grace,
their supple napes swiveling
in arty show of aquatic ballet...
surreal.


In the hypnotic gleam of the setting sun
I watch the lacustrine opera…
enthralled.

Hi Subimal, This poem was also first place winner in my contest "Intensity" back in 2016, so I was pleased to find it popping up as a winner again in 2021. I've only just discovered your extra win. (I am hoping my comment will remind you to put your placement in MY contest beneath your poem as well. After all, your inspiration was drawn from the earlier contest set up by me.)
