The Beautiful Aquatic Menagerie

The vermilion and sangria sunset sets across the sky, mockingbirds land gently on barren branches as they fly- Twilight ascends and all is ebon in the darkened night, the frangipani bushes glow as the moonlight shines, pellucid stars sparkle with crystalline and romantic light. Ripples in the reverie surface the relishing tidal shore, for it’s always been this aquatic menagerie that I adore- Ancestral generations of marine animals gather with emotion, luscious and beautiful angel fish dance under water, as the night does infuse with affection and sincere devotion. 10 Words and 10 Lines Challenge Poetry Contest Sponsor: Silent One January 6th, 2018

I can remember this one was posted about ten minutes after I posted the contest, the ten words really inspired you to write a wonderful poem with great lines... Congratulations on your first place in the 10/10 challenge..

I am SO VERY happy I decided not use the word SANGRIA in my entry. What are the odds?!! Your poem is dreamy and flows awesomely. Great job as always, Laura.

Wow, Laura, this is a difficult contest and you rose to the challenge with a beautiful write that should do very well. I've been reading the entries and am going to pass...stiff competition and yours is evident of that as well. Awesomeness!

Hi Laura, If anyone could rise to the challenge of using the words for the contest, I'm not surprised that it was you. I really enjoyed the scene you created with the given words. It was like looking underneath the oceans bed . I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis
