September 7, 2023, Placed 1st: Five Senses Poetry Contest, Sponsor: Soto Poet

Vision, a window divine, open wide to aspirations of heart, A lens paramount, for perusing aesthetics of beauty and art; A sight beaming imagination, on ambitions of curious soul, A focus coherent, shaping impulses, passions studious cajole. A medium of communication, an engaging lure of romance, An infatuated response, a jubilant hint of enamored glance, Blossoming in language of love, without utterance of word, Extolling meaning amorous, that desires romantic spurred. Perceptive of worldview, on mission to observe and learn, A journey into the unknown, yearning curiously to discern, Vision quests for knowledge, aiming to be literate, well read, Vision peers into future, navigating life’s road maps ahead. It thrills watching a baby smile, elates in celebration of life, Saddens when mind summons anguish of grief and strife; Dejecting violent places, thoughts kindred deeply deplore, Preferring banks of avid shores, dreams endearing implore. Vision captures images of life, ruminating in joys and sighs, Rejoicing in blissful memories, or tearing-up its forlorn eyes; Reveling in exuberant prairies, vying for flowering springs, Or shuddering amid barren trees, bearing angst winter brings.

Vijay, it's clever in a good way that you talk about vision in terms of seeing reflected light--all the wonderful things associated with that--and also having a sense of what the future will bring. You are a remarkable poet and have such a lot to offer us all!!!

While each sense seems simple, since we use them, without even thinking about it. We should never take them for granted, because we could lose one or more, and never get it back. This is so beautifully expressed and presented, my dear friend. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

"Blossoming in language of love, without utterance of word, Extolling meaning amorous, that desires romantic spurred." Outstanding poetic language! "Vision captures images of life, ruminating in joys and sighs, Rejoicing in blissful memories, or tearing-up its forlorn eyes;" Every word of this poem a treasure. Well done!

I appreciate the 'vision' you created with your vivid poem...I sometimes take my vision for granted, both literally and figuratively. I find I need both to feel fully alive and creative. You're a master...

Great take, I assume on the senses contest. Vision is a gift from a loving Creator, who made for us a world of vivid colors, awesome vistas, and variety beyond imagination. More important is spiritual vision, the gift of being able to see the invisible, though not visible. I love your poems Veej

This is beyond profound and its so good to see you post, as always it is nothing less than “ poetic brilliance” your rhymes imagery and the way you’ve brought vision to life through words so eloquently is impressive. I especially loved “ it thrills watching a baby smile” it does but also makes me think of my sons toddler days. Another fave for me. And im sure sotto would love the philosophical depth of your write. Impeccable
