From ever fragrant branches spread
the tyrian shades of lovers blooms
which speak of peace to passing bees
that in the sultry midday haze
hum out their harmonious chorals.
Down the winding paths so dim
with darkened leaves cool overhung
I wander when the sky is chill
in solitude with thought and peace.
If i had one to take my hand
and carry half the burden
down the paths of life with me
I would not hear the dulcet call
of all the joy this woodland haven
whispers in its zephyr stirred leaves.
Theres sadness in the silent trees
of those in times gone by
who stored their sorrows in the arms
of natures secret lullabies.
The melancholy of the world
can make a faithful friend
in hours of wondered solitude
in beauties sovreign shrine.
There's poetry in this vernal world
its spoken by the birds above
which chatter in their mystery
in russet canopies like rich attire.
o, forget the other worlds my heart
this fresh towered arbor of delight
is your home in your lonely hours
I'd hardly think another place
would ever offer such tranquil thoughts.

Nice write. The imagery is good, and the flow is good too. Thanks for entering and good luck!
-
this has great images, such as "whispers in its zephyr stirred leaves" but i have to say, the center alignment and the absence of stanza breaks takes away from the flow!
thank you for entering

thank you for entering the contest. If my comment is sparse, it's just that I have 165 entries and it's hard to make a decent comment to everyone.

nature is a best friend to those that open up to her. Wonderful images throughout this very enjoyable read.

This was very descriptive. It was pretty. I dont really like how the sentences extended many lines. It threw me off, but after I realized what was happening, it was very enjoyable. Great job!

I thought this to be a very well articulated piece. Great imagery and vivid detail throughout. The rhyme however seemed to come and go - could be free-verse, and in some places seemed to lose it's strength. A bit of over pluralization at the beginning, but overall a very nice piece. Not trying to pull it apart just being honest... Best wishes
