Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Lavender

Written: May 15, 2024 For Jay Narain Contest

                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Summer's sunshine tingles the lavender bloom.
It bestows an idyllic and aureate mood in the room.
A serene spa as fears vanish and peace beams.
A sumptuous sanctum and mellifluous dream.

Royal purple, orchid, with the silky grace of a lilac.
A rush of passion and altruism, and a smile to luck.
A panacea for a jaded soul, a cornucopia of peace.
A pleasing pastiche in which hurdles seek release.

Stench of lavender recalls an elixir, syrupy but real.
A dulcet wassail is charming luxurious, and ideal.
Amphorae filled with flower oil, ambrosian ariose.
An oasis of quietness bliss and no mood morose. 

 From soil to sun, sand to scent, appeal is copious.
A healing hum, gentle grasp, evoke in you Proteus
Lavender aroma bestows a lovely easing balm.
A whisper of coolness, a spirit devoid of harm.

Valsa George May 17, 2024 at 6:42 AM This poem abounds in beautiful poetic lines and it flows smoothly in perfect rhyme. The descriptions give us a feeling that we are standing before a vast stretch of lavenders. The air is perfumed and sweet. "Lavender aroma bestows a lovely easing balm. A whisper of coolness, a spirit devoid of harm." These lines impart such a lovely feel. Sorry, it didn't get placed because you didn't enter it. Sometimes it happens with me too.
