Saturation Mimics Satisfaction

Initialising silhouettes submit to midwinter dawn Beginning willingly to swallow colour of choices Fledgelings' flamboyant campaigns display oblivion Audacious adolescents distribute chafing thoughts Attach entire esteem to securing peer approval Frivolous get transfixed in youth's lurid allure Bustling balloons launch from high vaulting hearts Adventurers revel in joy during jaunty occasions Concerned observers avoid havoc's banquet Money cascades proportionate to patrons' appraise Circumspect travel with kaleidoscope analysis Attentively pensive address torrid scheduling Pallid consideration accompanies shaded misers Assorted sections bolstered by merciful sharers Principled accord favoured by fate's ultimation Aura of agitation promotes copious desires Hushed heeders find freedom in relinquishing Dilating ease determines to exit temptation Plethora of pleasures pledged by reoccurring sunrise Replenished spirit operates as a doting shepherd Validates delight in desiphered silence Supreme reckoning denounces pretentious credentials Clarity invades tainted captivity's insatiable tirade Mortal manuscript mirrors sequel's assembling 20th April 2020 Submitted to Chantelle Anne Cooke's Best NA Poem 2020 Re run

Amazing write, Sigrid. There is so much in this poem, so many brilliant phrasings, I'm going to have to take time to digest all of your imagery! So happy for your win. Well deserved wisdom about the "Supreme" and our "mortal manuscript." Congratulations my friend.

You are a very intelligent writer, Sigrid. Your word pairings are brilliant, and sound so good rolling of the tongue - especially enjoyed the title and "Fledgelings' flamboyant". Too many other good ones to mention. To me, there's kind of a teenage angst vibe to this. Well done, glad to see your Phoenix arise from the NA ashes!

Hi John. Thank you! Yes, it's an early poem of mine, - kind of supposed to point out stages of life, and to keep the right way in mind. It's heavy, heavy!

Good title backed up well. Some people would choke if not told they had reached saturation point. Poetry best platform to raise these sort of things. Social media probably worst. Great use of interesting phrases in this piece, Best Regards David in NZ
