Swans of Pearl
by Arkbear
~*~
Lovely
graceful water
fowl shimmering atop
glassy mirrors of silhouettes
Gentle ripples embrace
feathered down of
formed
females beauty
Swim to me and embrace
a journey of surrealness and
a new covenant true
Tranquil waters
reflect
the destinies
of future flights anew
Pearl white Swans inevitably
admire your lovliness
yet your presence
remains
beside me still
Paddle with me crossing
many lakes above pond water
flowing deeply within
darkened abyss
Currents
calmly decide
generations which nest
Tender eggshells opening up
to free our young gosling
One has your looks
my love

- Final notes:
Wow!
Once again, you have all shown me what dedication and respect to a certain Form can do for such Art as the Behrquain Swirl.....I stand in awe of each entry ~
The top 3 were hardest for me to place.....I had to eventually go with least mistakes, or what I would call, not true Form ~
Silver had spaces doubled for aesthetics, and Bronze used punctuation...to enhance the writes Tone.....however, as Judge, I have to make a call, and so they wound up where they did because of least imperfections......congrats Timmy.....you did well.....but your last Swirls, ( 8 ) syll L's aesthetics are still a weeeee bit off ~
HM's are
I want to thank each of you for placing so much effort into this contest and supporting it with your talented quills......it is always good to see each of you drop in ~
When you join me in Poetry Formed XXXIX, you shall be expected to do no less than what you have here.....stunning work!
Passions Promise...simply a gorgeous piece of work & message....I had to give it a Greeny for recognition, even though you had a few syll errors ~
HM's ARE in order of personal preference ~
God bless all of you,
.....and remember,
May Your Higher Power & the Power of Your Quill,
Always, Give You Strength!
Bear ~
