Best Stounding Poems
Endowed with miraculous blessings of Nature
Astounding plains and valleys, mountains and oceans
Raindrops, and clouds, plants and trees,
Tangerine sunset, ruby-red dawn
Harmonious life flows like a meandering river.

Surreal world of kaleidoscopic imagination
Astounding creativity of a visionary artist
Tantalizing senses with breathtaking landscapes,
Unravelling a new horizon of magical panorama,
Realm of dreams and aspirations revealed,
Nurtured in harmonious blessings of the universe.

A-fter the long night is gone,
N-ew morn is in good view;
A-n early dawn has broken,
L-etting the sun shine on
Y-ou.
A-s the twilight fades,
D-ark dusk loses its ground;
R-ainy evening has turned
I-nto a breeze that I've found.
A-stounding sight amazes,
N-ice fresh feeling it brings;
O-pen air is free of haze, mist and dust are yesterday's things.
D-ay eighth in March
I-s worth to remember;
A-llow me to make you smile,
N-o more tears but laughter.
C-old chill is getting warm, as my wishes share the same;
O-vernight shadows disappear, while oblivion turns to fame.

A-stounding sight of beacon
N-ever brings gray and blue;
D-awn has just broken,
O-pening the day for
Y-ou.
M-orn is astounding sight,
E-ndorsing hope and promise;
N-ew ray of light is shining,
D-ewdrops share the mist.
E-arly January thirty-first, behold the burning sunlight;
Z-enith awaits the noontime, daybreak is astounding sight.
