~~Gateway to Atlantis~~ option 7


(music enhanced)

Far beneath the cresting waves,
Lies an ancient ruin and dwelling.
Myths arise from the mysterious grave,
With sensibility and logic dispelling.

Forbidden continent, consumed in whole,
Destiny bade thee farewell.
Its population, wanders each soul,
As the great Atlantis fell.

A doorway to the netherworld,
Gives rise and fuels the legends. 
Watery depths in an obscure swirl,
Into the earth's crust descends.

Sunken landscape, a culture vanished,
Leaving not even a trace of being.
Land of the living, all but banished,
Worldly existence, quick in fleeing.

Those who search for the city so great,
Have aspirations and dreams of the find.
But, care should be taken of what may await,
Through the gates of Atlantis,.....
Resides mankind.

    Penned to perfection Grace!

    You are a sure fire Poet Laureate Grace, this is just sensational, phenomenal and as always so exquisitely presented with fabulous poetic graphics, which with the brilliant and perfect rhyme and flow, meter and vivid imagery makes this a read to remember, its awesome.
    If only we could award everyone a gold in these contests, as yours along with everyone elese well deserved a Gold at least. I didn't envy JoAn the solo job of judging this contest, with entries so good as is yours, it was a hard task.
    You are just such a perfect poetess Grace, your work is a phenomenally good read and you have captured so well the essence of this painting and its theme, you have taken the reader right back to Atlantis, abd brought the lost city right back to life, and you write as if you have been there, I knew we had met before I was there too!
    Bravo phenomenally brilliant and stunning write well done love it, write on and never stop!
    Thanks Millions for entering it was an honour to have you in our contest.
    Please come back and enter my future contests ok!
    Poetic Hugs & Thanks Millions!
    Kaz.

    I think it can, its been predicted that New York will one day sink, perhaps it is the modern Atlantis waiting to happen... loved the write, great imagery and your flow and rhyme were never questionable... good luck in the contest

    lovely take on this. especially like the imagery used and the words are just lovely "Sunken landscape, a culture vanished,
    Leaving not even a trace of being.
    Land of the living, all but banished,
    Worldly existence, quick in fleeing."
