Owl eyes break as dimming light worms about, Hollow clap surrenders a sparked ribboning, Escapees breakout from their misty cells, Wakes of earthen prints puddling, Harbored ills bade sanctuary, A glassy millpond beholds the begotten, Abrupt warming tempts the absence, Stirred tea sweetly idling, An archer colorfully tools the realm, Directives wondering, Vibrant life answering, A stranger to loneliness, ...I felt like being alive.

Aloha dear friend. This poem is rich in superlative images William and flows like the rolling Hawaiian waves on the beach. So many images caught my attention and carried me away into the world of your poem. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings!
