Notes About The Poem

For Brian Strand's Contest 1487, dated July 12, 2026.

Lacustrine Opera

In bejeweled jade landscape
the topaz terrain rolls relentless
on wondrous waves,  
undulating with
the sculpted panorama 
of pristine cadence,
entrenches in earthen frame
the sprawling shape 
of a serene lake,
sublimely sparkling,
the sapphire shining face 
looking up
toward the cerulean sky,
       entranced.

The southern zephyr
whispers enticing melody
to the rhapsodic ripples
intensely passionate,
spread in seraphic span  
of self-suffusing rhythm,
slide on slithering shadows 
of the dancing trees,
lining the contorted contours
of the splashing shore,
       adorned.

Malachite lotus leaves 
float flamboyant
with pulsating fervor,
the ruby flush of full bloom
makes the collage 
of fiery fresco
with fanning feathers 
of flaming flamingos,
their ballerina legs wading
the emerald waters 
in avian grace,
supple napes swiveling
in charismatic concerto 
of aquatic ballet,
       surreal.

In the hypnotic gleam 
of the setting sun
I watch the lacustrine opera,
       captivating.
