“Time is a gift that most of us take for granted. We get caught up in our daily lives and rarely take the time to appreciate the simple wonders around us.” Cheryl Richardson "This little poem was not entered in any other contest : ~~The Poet~~ Take time to read. Wonders indeed Wonderful times, Making Rhymes. Sapphire dew drops. Bubble as it pops. Pink cotton candy Fine French brandy Sweet baby smiles Beauty that beguiles. Kitten’s gentle purr Puppy’s soft fur Time heals. Church bell peals Soft lemon scent Feeling content Brilliant sun rising Oh, so mesmerizing. Sun softly fading. Lemonade cascading Fresh air inhales Spider web trails Time to wonder, Why it’s down-under. Captivating looks Mystery books Lover’s letters Angora sweaters Connecting glances Heaven sent chances. First spring rose Ribbons n bows Sweet vine grapes Red velvet drapes Ornate Venus statue When I look at you Time of the essence. In quiescence Lavender snips Smooth satin lips Petite daisy chains Cover when it rains. Wanting to stay Celestial visions play. Pirouetting pansies Goofy chimpanzees Crisp linen sheet Friends as they meet. Time to wander, Fields out yonder. Poem of splendor Caresses so tender Soft tissue paper Sandalwood vapor Call of the ocean Love’s raw emotion Fading fairy wings As my heart sings Time passes Fine crystal glasses. Foam from waves. Exploring caves Child’s ponytail. Pastels ever so pale Ornamented icicles Penny-farthing bicycles Time flies Kaleidoscope of butterflies Golden flowing hair Two sharing prayer Secrets we can whisper. Mornings getting crisper. Fun rides at the fair A hide-away lair Dispersing lollipops Peppermint drops. Filigree carnations Winning presentations Waterfalls cascading Fairies happily wading. Cinnamon apple slice Lucky roll of the dice Camera flashes Rain as it lashes. Walking proud Sings out loud. Time to go, Will miss you so.

Dearest Christina, not being my usual form, it took me a while to "get in the swing" of rhyming such short lines, but then I couldn't stop ! I was having the "time of my life" excuse the pun. It was for Empress Ink's contest, but Merv was unwell and Brix had to have an operation and by the time I went to enter it her contest was closed. I was disappointed because I had want her appraisal. Looks like Brian saved the day, and now you and Edward giving it affirmative comments lifts my heart. Thank you dear friend.

I saw that someone had commented. Such a lovely surprise Edward to see it was you. Thank you so much. Not at all my usual style. I wrote it for Empress Ink's contest, but was waylaid with home duties, and when I went to enter it the contest had closed. So Glad Brian appreciated it and now YOU. Thanks Edward you made me very happy. Best wishes from Wen
