Violet remnants of crushed
flowers, luminous in the glowing
window; the aroma fills the
room like humble roses in the
midnight garden.
Therapeutic emollient in
the tense quibble Life presents;
yet I am comfortable-
toss a pebble in a glass lake
gray with moving possibility...
I hear jazz xylophones ring
out notes like youthful pleasures
as the twilight breaks through-
I sashay though fields
of daisies sing proud
life is great

I like this expression of joy. Nice arrangement of word bank words.
Thank you for entering my contest. -
Beautiful work; the enjambments are striking and effective. On the other hand, I feel that "comfortable" and "possibility" are weak words, which do not belong in the rest of the poem.

the tense quibble Life presents;
