to
TOM CUNNINGHAM
**********
Tom enjoys poetry dedicated,
to others talented endeavourings.
A master following, dedicating!
Your's Thomas, heartfully dedicated!
Waves around impinging ferociously
the seashore fiercely anticipating
To settle personal retribution
in darkened murderous circumstances.
Night's sincere sentinel exhibiting
the water’s shallowness environments
to water vehicles incessantly
to avert dangerous situations.

Third Place Win
Contest:The Lighthouse by nette onclaud
The Smeaton Eddystone's architecture
First lighthouse protecting navigators
Light blinking, pulsating, luminously
Loud foghorn resounding resonantly
Guides shipwrecked mariners vigilantly
Or swarthy seafarers incessantly
On oceans perilous, tempestuous
A sailor’s salvation eternally

~awarded 1st place
The coastal lighthouses, intervening
in many dangerous undercurrents.
it's beacon interacts vigorously
as vessel realigns, manoeuvring
past many obstacles undistinguished
by any obvious visionary.
So sailing faultlessly, continuing
home without treacherous impediments
Penned 19 September 2014 by Seren Roberts
Sun Kissing reflections awakening
all flowers, lusciously mezmerizing
with peaceful tenderness, underlying
my lover's caresses endearingly.
