Best Splendour Poems

Tropical sunshine 
streaming down
from a clear blue and white sky
with fleecy white clouds
edged with wisps of mist
like giant grains of popcorn
drifting slowly by
way up in the sky

The sunshine 
bathing the sugar cane fields below
with golden sunbeams
saturating the texture
of its long grass-like leaves
with its radiance
enlivening them...

watching the sunrise

            sunken treasure

Leaves commence the dance of splendour 
In illustrious September
In colours of red, brown and gold
The fall is glory to behold.

What joy it is to stand and stare
As autumnal trees shed their ware
When the trees are stripped of their braid
October sees leaf carpets laid.

When fall has...

Nature beckons me with its charm ~ 

trees waving in the wind

wish me good morning from their farm;

birds chirrup, their music plays on,

young ones squeak in response,

I love hearing these sounds at dawn;

honeybees, butterflies float by,

busy waking flowers,

I watch them with a content sigh,

buds open...

Summer's excitement over, veiled Fall tiptoes softly
tantalizing, with aroma of golden sunshine,
decoupage of leaves - cerise, tangerine, crimson-red
a riot of colours on bountiful maple and playful pine!

whimsical season filling hearts in euphoric delight,
I see dreams of my zestful youth in soaring leaves
swooshing, floating, drifting around,...

Twins, entrapped in purity of essence,
The woman and the vista;
She, for all the world, is real,
The other cast interpretive.
Models of implicit quintessence,
The painting and the sister;
She, to be so bold, can feel,
The other felt intuitive.

Beauty slaved in delicate pairing,
The female and the prospect;
She, embodying existence,
The...

Morning comes with downpour of dazzling dew
That sits on leaves of grass, petals of the flower
And with splendour and glory stains them anew.
Beauty of Eternal image shrinks into finite Hour.

The cruel ray of Sun quivers the grass, the leaves
And the dews suddenly vaporize and flutter...

A HYMN TO THE SPLENDOR OF THIS WORLD(Satis Shroff)



The sea is calm and a fair moon

Stealthily appears in the sky,

Behind the northern clouds.



The red cliff of Kampen glimmers

Under the light of the dying sun.

And the waves take on yellow, orange, scarlet hues.

The tides still roar...

The SPLENDOR OF SYLT (Satis Shroff)


SYLT AT DAWN (Satis Shroff)

You hear the waves

As they splash onto the shore.

You haven't opened your eyes,

But you discern the cries of sea gulls,

As you slowly let the sunlight

Into your eyes.



Ah, the reassuring rays caress your face,

As you proceed to...

Twas the Autumn of two thousand and nine
Landing in London, with my dearest best friends
Aside my side and John, joking about Sarah's wild hair 
As Tristen enjoyed his drink Karistia, gazing out the window...

Praise to the beautiful mountains and lakes,
The humble log abode that provides a home,
Where the parents and children of Austria live.
The wooden table where they sit and dine,
Delicious foods prepared, freshly baked bread,
Cheeses and cakes and cookies,
Dinners cooked to perfection,
The bright dirndls the women wear,...

A gentle seek
A glorious wonder
A celestial find
And you are mine

A grateful beauty
An absolute filling
A joyous kind
And you are mine

A peaceful love
A merry triumph
A woeful bind
And you are mine

A fatal attraction
A frightful bliss
A casual shine
And you are mine

Only hearts 
Sound as one
Which is blind
And you are...

A murky hue invades the breeze
while sunshine kisses grass below.
And autumn’s brush paints all the trees
where birds put on an aerial show.

Then I take out my canvas white
to recreate this splendid sight.
But my rendition can’t compare
with nature’s hand splashed everywhere.

A wonderful sight to behold.
Your grandeur is more
Than meets the eye.

From absolutely spectacular bloom
Until you've fallen in grace
Meeting earth, withering 
Like snow with an ebb
And flow of gentle breezes.

Symbolising life;
Powerful, exhilarating, sublime 
Yet short lived.
Reminding us how brief our lives are.

Sweet cherry blossom 
Bringing hope,
Also...
