“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.

Many congratulations dear very talented pal ( that I am blessed with) on your very high placement in the contest. Proud of u :) I love the quote and the poem dear Wen. It’s an amazing fast flow of many wonders. So much to appreciate here and it takes ‘time’ to marvel at it all. It’s like a beautiful waterfall flowing with so much happiness and things to be grateful for. ‘Sapphire dew drops’’ Lemonade cascading’ ‘ First spring rose’ ‘ foam from waves’ gorgeous!

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
