Best Scintillating Poems
Wintry white wisps wondrously whirl
Soft sparkling snowflakes silently swirl
Coolly carpeting countrysides carefully
Dazzling diamonds dancing delightfully

Brandishing the lightning lance, the sun arrives,
The mighty, majestic monarch of the day.
Kissing the mouldy mountain rows, he comes
Banishing mist and frost from night’s blotched brow.
In what rich ruby ring of radiance, he appears
Smearing and splotching liquid gold, he gracefully moves
With sparkling splashes, the world becomes bright
The prompt and punctual rooster raises his raucous revelry.
Birds and beasts wake up from their slumberous sleep.
The feathered folks tweet and twitter in harmonious notes.
The verdant vales below send up a welcoming sign.
The leaves stay bright tipped with dainty droplets of dew.
Morn, the bashful, mousy maiden with modest grace,
Peeps and peeks through half drawn curtains in the East.
Removing all trace of a tarnished yesterday,
The day arrives making me smile in burgeoning bliss.
Golden sunlight rays
Dancing on aqua blue sea
Tangoing on the water
Seductive glimmer
Moving harmoniously
Nature's beauty captivates

Like an eye looking out through black and blue night.
Scintillating squint in Dead of Winter; looking through
Slat of the Midwinter blind. The Canadian waning of light.
I could have been listening to a sermon, sitting on a pew.
Caught the “deer in headlights,” before the eye closed.
It was like peeping through a hole of the universe; gold.
Tree branches spread out, as if fancy’s figment disclosed.
I’m open to chiaroscuro and the Creator’s diurnal hold.
Could have been an angel’s flashlight, looking for a fleck.
Perhaps where Heaven touches earth, that is so cold.
The wind twines with hymns and the flurries hit the deck.
A groom carries a splendiferous bride across the threshold.
God’s natural art emboldens impressions with constant sear.
The intensity both bold and minute embrace our existence.
Climatically they manifest, grab hold, redirect, and adhere.
Never ending dispersion of colors and seasonal coexistence.

When I see your face
When you stroll into view
I see you mostly every day
Without knowing it,
You brighten my drab day
Your casual wave and mega-watt smile
Are scintillating
Would you like to talk awhile
Or we can remain silent and unspoiled
You helped me out that time
When I was in a bind
How could I not be aware of you
You offered to help me with the trash
You slipped me a few bucks
When I was broke and outta luck
I stuttered when I asked your name
So I could properly address you to sing your praise
Your smile, wave and kindness are contagious - the impetus I desperately need to propel me through these dreary days.

Contest: Tautogram Poems Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Eve Roper
Enchanting scent of rose oil and neroli filled the air
Her heart thumped with excitement sealed for
eternity
Sweet love had bloomed true and fair.
Satin frills and lacy gloves adorned this lady very fair
Warm cuddle and kiss of trust portrayed symbols of unity
Enchanting scent of rose oil and neroli filled the air
His adorable style, her bright smile, his wavy locks, her curly hair
So intense and deep was this blend and angels blessed this love of purity
Sweet love had blossomed true and fair
Displayed their union-crispy themes of pleasure, submission and care
Oath of commitment with emboldened spirit of veracity
Enchanting scent of rose oil and neroli filled the air
Disappeared without any trail behind,the saga of nightmare and great despair
For tides of true love had in their life lashed with fullest capacity
Sweet love had blossomed true and fair.
Diamond ring in her finger added the everlasting feel to this graceful affair
Fertile bonding of two humble souls and loving hearts sans vanity
Enchanting scent of rose oil and neroli filled the air
Sweet love had blossomed true and fair.
HAPPY CAMPER
Cultivation of thought with in the heart
That has been seeding in the soul
Journey of the bare mind state
Agitated, while the lifeline is Un whole.
Designing the stream of desires goal.
As time fly's for what is untold
Digging deepest heart of the intellect's gold.
Unwrapping mystery what has been fold.
Following the cycle, revival of the wounded existence.
Up in the hill taking your consciousness talking of its presence.
Persistence of scintillating essence.
Foundation of your livelihood under pressure and pain
Foolishness of awareness for the manhood
Maness and madness laconic repressor of the chain
Disdain oneness, openness of choice
Brain damaged, flawless lack to entertain
Humiliation abashed the self-concept
Simulation of nature without any intent.
Here and there Notion of right or wrong.
Congenial sound of the soul's freedom song.
Beating in muscle like twitch vibration.
Happy camper for the melody of revelation.

Scintillating eyes
Prophetic sparks of passion
Fulfillment awaits
Eileen Manassian Ghali
Balmy summer air to southern climes doth repair
On horizon, blue azure panels shaded with smoky tincture
Silky, white fondue relpaced by pallid, silver hue
Fondling, summer breezes; gripping, autumnal wind freezes
Cooling waves react with fertile leaves; amber gown doth
retract
Nutrient-rich chlorophyll doth spill and sugary saps rill
Anon, doth ween a bright, colorful sheen
Golden crescents and cherry strobes with lobes iridescent
Rounded discs on Global Willow in creamy glaze mellow
Spiny-toothed, Red Oak leaves flossed with reddish-
green gloss
Sugar Maple stars bathed in a bright pumpkin lathe
Ovular Blue Beech blades are brushed with a brackish rust
Veins of Aspen heart umbrella bleed bright yellow
Pentagram lobes of Sweet Gum gilded with purple robes
After scintillating charade, garnished blades began to
fade
Leaves' life-giving juices the stout bough refuses
Nutritious store salvaging trunk doth score
The regal, shimmering gown now shriveling crown
A duller shade of brown on the crumpled folds redound
Last gasp, its withering anchor doth cast
Descending from mercurial splendor to mother natures

Foliage glows midst color-festival
Nature’s marvelous artistry displayed
Green leaves turning orange marks revival
Masterpiece of God wondrously replayed.
Brilliant canopies of golden fortress
Exude great creation’s iridescence
Cheerfully relieving mountain-trek stress
Along rejuvenating crisp’s incense.
Offering respite, sometimes nostalgic
With festive environmental dazzle
Exposing season-enigma’s logic
Welcoming chills of delightful drizzle.
Autumn radiance keeps scintillating
Vivid scenes make perpetual painting.
*Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Honorable Mention, "STRAND SPECIAL 2..." Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 12/14/2019.
She spoke of urbane gentlemen
and friendly squalls of rain
yet thanked Christ
for her baked scones
and well rotted manure
and gratitude for not being a Lioness,
a cause celebre never in the making
mopping the Freemasons floor
I write upon my soul, imprinting my desire,
birthing thereby, karmic cause and effect;
this truth veiled, during earth visit,
due ego delusion,
manifest as belief of my separateness,
leading to cyclic joy and suffering.
In silence and stillness, consciousness discerning
underlying cause of stuporousness,
as my thought borne agitation,
of habits that persist.
No sooner my flaw within, I did so detect,
consigned ego to the funeral pyre.
Thought rested, ego faded, heart was yet afire,
love enabled, divine aligned, stance erect,
transcending lower mind limit,
in void of cessation,
myself abiding in self-aware awareness,
ensconced by throb of bliss scintillating.

Water gushing in a serene background,
Sunlight glitters,
Mountains guard
Standing
Tall,
Pine
Trees look
Lofty 'neath
A blue-white sky,
Cottony clouds waft through this divine scene.
