Great Escape

Gardens gilded with every flower known to man Replete with wondrous waterfalls fresh flow, Elysium sacred scenes to make souls soar with Angels waiting, watching o'er our day To keep us safe, to drive our fears away. Eclectic words embraced, endowed with faith to Sing sonorous songs in melodies of love with Candles burning bright to light the night And glorious God and Goddess' blessings from above. Perhaps with kindred kindness we eagerly entreat to Elevate our souls with precious poetry's escape. 1-13-20 Great Escape Contest ~Second Place~ Sponsor John Hamilton

Connie, I love the thought of Angels watching over us. Serenity reigns in a world filled with "kindred kindness." For those who write, poetry is an escape; for those who read poetry, even more so. Great acrostic, my friend! Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn
