There’s a burning yen nomadic deep within entrenched, to absorb fresh environments ambrosial on foot, where incidental hue or august colour wash abound, or that March bloom tantalising shady patch, with its dreamlike mystic wide-flung allure, some blue pigment dawn whisper tempting spur on, that hidden orange-red sunlit prompt I can’t curb, I follow blindly without oppugning brier cloak pitfalls, yet noonday mishap neither blight nor wanton cross, as other fellow venturers might script a manifold offshoot, but from sound and slant sentient aspect, I can awaken fond galvanic episodes, of uproarious elation emanating from a golden grained beach, where energetic offspring unleash their zeal, adjacent to labyrinthine thriving townscapes, ancient river, the stuff of verse and bard, parallels its salted surging thunderous ripple, with its indigo bold rush beneath a stoic wharf. to capture lush spots with the pourboire of bright eye as timeless haven Yet late phase hours settings have cachet, in tandem with the peep of day burst, as I reveal a harvest swept ashore, flotilla at a dock and day boundary, so nocturnal bliss enraptured round each plinth, and plethora of svelte unearthly steps, where haunted hair-raising halos splash, adding lustrous night fly element, beside the raucous alleyway caper, inchoate, invisible, intriguing inlay, shards of boisterous daring impishness, cast at my intrepid moonlit atman, enigmatic echoes chase skinflint shadows, whoosh of splintered black ice sepulchral, under reckless swerving car manoeuvre, muddy slush speckled rim upshot, street lanterns wondrous wide arc madrigal, spoon wink and woo lambent opus, banisher of eerie eve ghost glow silence earth atmosphere shall watch bemused as moonlight orb peers at globe beneath

This is exceptionally written poetry Howard, the best of the lot really. What was missing for me was the sense of being there with you, ie, it felt distant somehow, lacking an emotional connection. Still, truly awesome and thx for supporting

It's all relative Howard. I can tell you straight up I can't write poetry like this. But I know a thing or two about emotion and storytelling. Looking forward to reading more of your work

Thank you Tom for reading my entry, the time involved and of course the placement of this work which I value. I also appreciate your slant on the flaws of this piece which I will bear in mind for future contests. Warm regards Howard

These haunting halibuns are marvelous, and doubly so for the beautiful accompanying photographs. The in-depth stories continue in a ongoing journey that brings wonder to my senses.

Dear Howard, you have crafted such an amazing poem showing your burning desire to wander and explore the world around you, taking in the vivid and picturesque details of your surroundings. Your word choice is so rich and evocative, with the use of vivid imagery and sensory language to paint a detailed picture of the experience. Literary devices such as metaphor, personification, and alliteration are used to enhance the imagery and create a sense of movement and energy in the poem.
