From babies' breath to angel wings
heroic deeds and children sings
mountain tops to ocean depths
it's all about imagery.
Topaz waters, azure skies
golden leaves, piercing cries
incandescent wings, rambling gait
it's all about imagery.
Words used give creations light
details adding to the might
picturesque, exquisite too
it's all about imagery.
Words painted fresh and raw
hung like portraits on the wall
captivated and bewitched
it's all about imagery.
Beautiful pictures make poems pore
metaphors, adjectives by the score
haiku, sonnet and free verse
it's all about imagery.

Unfortunately I could not see the Imagary
this talks of diverse turn this took after the secon stanza, preferring to just talking rather than showing. -

This is a great piece! I love the topic. So many times it is our imagery that makes the poem seem to grab our attention. So I love this ode to that. I hope you do well in this contest. You deserve to with this piece. It's great! - cgirl0410

I like this stanza the most, may be it's because of baby's breath and angels' wings.
From babies' breath to angel wings

I also like the repetition at the end of each stanza.
