Upon canvas of cerulean skies
Dawn paints her gold meandering mist
Of tranquil passion purity.
Melody of sight and sound
Washes through the twilight
Of my waking dreams.
Destiny calls
Me from sleep
Softly,
Sure.
Rise
Once more
To touch the
Chalice of life
To lips singing praise
Through anxious auras in
Anticipation of new
Clarity of mind and spirit.
Savoring momentary embers
Beckoning me breath deep another day.

I actually used more of the words than I listed, but somewhere in the middle of my writing I was suddenly compelled to make it into a double Etheree. Whew, my eyes are crossing now and my math brain is now broken for the rest of the day 
. If you think you see any mistakes in my word count, let me know. I will be doing a syllable recount tomorrow after my counting brain cells have gotten some rest.

"Beckoning me breath deep another day." is this really how it's supposed? with 'me' or is it something else... just slightly confused on that part
I like this, the set up of going from big to little in the middle to big again. I also like the word choice, you have an excellent vernacular.
Supoid write, fantastic -
It always helps when a contest holder gives you pretty words to work with

Lol, John, make sure you do it after a good nights sleep or it will drive ya nuts. I really enjoy syllable counting forms, but I can go quite bleary eyed in the process

This was awesome! I haven’t tried the etheree…..yet, but it is one of the forms I have on my to-do list.
You did such an excellent job with yours. It flowed marvelously.

You did an excellent job using the words, and this flows very well!
I actually had to look up some of the words myself, Thistle.

I definately thank the contest holder for giving us a nice mix of words to work with. I even had to look some of them up in the dictionary. Three cheers to Psychotic Freak for giving me something to dig into . And thank you faerie for taking the time to stop by, read and comment

wow hun, this is beautiful! The imagery and description is amazing, and the layout of the poem is really effective. I love the stanzas
"Upon canvas of cerulean skies
Dawn paints her gold meandering mist
Of tranquil passion purity." they are really well penned, and the best use of devices in the poem (well, i think so
) lol. And as far as i can tell, your syllabol count is perfect Keep the ink flowing hun

You have a maths brain too? Don't tell the men that, they get scared
You picked some very awkward words and made a very stylish and clever poem.
I wish i could be a bit more flowery in my comments but then i wouldn't be me
