Around me sparkles life and more,
The luscious greens of flora,
The Reds and Blues and Yellow galore,
All mixed; vibrant, liquid amora...
Mountain ranges, crystal stream,
Fish and fauna, do their things.
The world alight with golden beams,
Surroundings make my heart true sing.
To sit and be, eveloped in serenity,
Heaven; such beuaty, that fills my world with song,
The world is spleandour for your entirety,
Such pretty things could not be wrong.
The world about us changes, infinite,
But that doesn't mean there's something wrong with it.

Wow. This piece was so beatiful.
Sonnets are amazing, though I have never written one. I am really not good at rhyming. You have done such a good job writing this sonnet though, and the rhyme scheme is wonderful.
I loved reading this piece. It was easy to read through and brought amazing imagery. You have some great lines here. Oh- simply awesome! Loved reading this piece.
Great job!

Do spell check for contests.
The rhyme scheme points to a Shakespearean styled fourteen lines of images. You are right: change does not nercessarily imply decay.
