Image result for woman on a porch

When lattice of jasmines unfurls like a veil I pause in my terrace littered with starglow, As quietude circles lulled breaths to inhale The tempo of nightfall when soft musings flow. In calmness, trees hum for gentle reflection While notes weave upon mellow introspection That floral tones invite healing from day’s grind-- O lit sanctuary...my wholeness enshrined. ..................

Nette, I delayed posting winners for this contest because I was hoping you would read the blogs or contest updates that specified the ABABABCC rhyme scheme. Although you chose a rhyme that is acceptable for Rispettos, it is not the one I had stipulated. Your poem is sooo lovely, dear. It was very difficult for me to judge this contest because contestants wrote so many incredibly beautiful poems. Congratulations on your win! Best wishes, Carolyn
