Breaths of soothing flowers
maiden spills gentle thoughts
constricted by cerise pink.
Forest sighs with verdant leaves
under silver song's feathers,
jasmine silence blossoms.
Through rippled azure waters
behind a marbled mask of aesthetic sadness
she watches virtue reflected.
Light captures nocturne aureole
behind floating crystal prisms,
lotuses drift upon moonlit mirror.
Lotuses drift upon moonlit mirror
behind floating crystal prisms,
light captures nocturne aureole.
She watches virtue reflected
behind a marbled mask of aesthetic sadness
through rippled azure waters.
Jasmine silence blossoms
under silver song's feathers,
forest sighs with verdant leaves.
Constricted by cerise pink
maiden spills gentle thoughts
breaths of soothing flowers.

Wonderful palindrome. Very very good to the form and image in this contest. A pleasure to read and enjoy.
Images are quite well orchestrated in this piece with wonderful flow.
Thank you for a most delightful entry. ~Pamela

I am glad you liked it. I was on needles the whole time wondering whther this form would kill me in the end, metaphorically speaking of course. It was the hardest to write.

So soft and inviting...
these scenes tinged with sorrow or
sweet deception of self.
I am always amazed at how well you
weave color and texture into verse.
