A quiet hush is beauty on display
with mirrored waters glow and glisten-shine
and echoes soft that shores cannot define
as water stills and smoothes over the bay.
Illumination casts a faint bouquet
of cherry blooms and plum trees in the spring
and Oh, my heart is ripe for life to sing
as water stills and smoothes over the bay.
There are no words defining this array
of splendor as cold winter winds subside.
True glory heralds more than is implied
as water stills and smoothes over the bay.
A quiet hush is beauty on display
as water stills and smoothes over the bay.

You did such a beautiful job with this created form.
Congratulations on yet another well-deserved gold, Pamela! Nature is my personal favorite topic to read and write. I absolutely love it when I can read a poem that tantalizes all of my senses, as this one does so easily. I'm not a big of plums or cherries, but in your hands, I want to eat them anyway. Beautifully written! It's always a pleasure to be immersed in your work.

I thank you kindly. I had forgotten this piece and it is good to come back and read it again. Echo sonnet, yes, a lovely variation of Kyrielle Sonnet. I liked the longer lines it offered.
You are so kind and supportive. Thank you. ~Pamela
