There's Magic In the Air

My summer field of flowers A wild enchanted garden Long free blades of grass A green pacific sea Where earthbound mermaids murmur Of fragrant flowers in my meadow Miniature blooms as white As delicate as fresh fallen snow Buttercups swaying with the soft summer breeze Wild violets in a never-ending rhythmic waltz The pretty bright faces of dandelions Radiant mirrors to the sun Wild roses high and proud As royalty among the common The honeysuckle tree clothed With clusters of pink chiffon The sky of nomad blue Powdered with celestial dust A magic scent in the air To make you want to dance AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted May 8, 2018 for CONTEST NO.435 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 1ST
