Paul Callus Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Quietus 2026 Poetry Contest sponsored by Unseeking Seeker ~ March 2026

Paced 1st 

Near Almond Trees

Near almond trees in fragrant bloom
she sits. The sun and breeze 
her tender fragile heart illume
and niggling doubts appease.

Her mind now crystal clear
she can forgive; give ear
to reason without fear. 

She breathes at ease
near almond trees.

CayCay Godwin March 24, 2026 at 6:41 AM I'm back, was determined my brain wouldn't let you go again and what a treat I found. This poem is 'perfect', no other word for it. Meaning, depth, style, rhyme, flow - it's a total go. I don't know about the Unseeker's preferences, but this poem is loaded with essences.
