When the sunlight rays dawning to decay
Within the scenic shade of the tall trees,
Foster felicity flows forth and fray,
Dappling the vista with a subtle breeze
Casting twirling shades in the woodland floor.
Vintage music stirs up forlorn desire,
A ceaseless mixture of light and leaves tore
Pith pearl persuasive pontoon painted pyre
Consume the elixir of leaves and beams
Light and bush rattles pulchrify the earth
Soak in the luscious komorebi gleams,
Ineffable grace, a trice of high worth
Light and leaves exudate a calm aura
Time seems to pose in gossamer flora...
1st place contest winner
I did with sinking heart, notice
Ask me what, and I will deliver sans prejudice.
Minus three from a decade being on precipice,
Yet hammered for erecting defensive rise,
His self-belief pervaded poll's vice.
Thus ploughed he, relentless and determined
towards staggering recordings of happy lies.
Finally he did recede, failing entry's justice.
