For Shadow Hamilton's Let's Tango poetry contest.

 

Seasons like emotions fade away. Where poisonous rain once blistered susceptible surfaces, now sapphire skies showcase the saffron sun, silently soothing somber scars. Yesterday was a vacant colouring book. Today is a kaleidoscopic canvas of colours, illuminating every blank page. Rainbow rivers stream through my veins, as eyes paint in positive portraits. Pen flows like exotic fruit juices, blending sweet smoothies. Essence of fruit salad zest, liberates from a coconut mind. Psychedelic pineapple heart, nurtures my mango soul's serenity. Sentimental sun rays embrace, soaking warmth deep inside. Happiness is tranquil like a pleasant fresh ocean breeze.

SO, funny that my mind goes to dancing, but what you have done is more universal. It's about the nature of change and feeling good about the exchanges that occur as this dance of life occurs.

I love the third verse and the use of fruity tunes. The first and the last lines were exceptional. Emotions flow and fade like seasons, winter, spring, summer. Today it's hot, tomorrow too cold, other days wash in the sea. "Yesterday was a vacant colouring book. Today is a kaleidoscopic canvas of colours." Shows the productiveness and changes that comes with each day. Bringing hope.

Well, SO, your first line blew me away! You have such wonderful powers of observation and the ability to speak fresh new images - a true poetic soul! This poem is like watching a rainbow move across a meadow painting color and imagery! And your last lines have that same, fresh, new understanding - "happiness is tranquil!" Best wishes for the contest! Blessings as we prepare for Easter!

How beautiful and soothing are your words dear silent one! I love the way your lines flow throughout this poem and how youv also written some lines such as “ now sapphire skies showcase the saffron sun, silently soothing somber scars.” That hits so deep and strong and i love the alliterations too there. And i must also highlight how your use of fruity words enhanced the beauty of the poem! And left me craving for mangoes hah! Mango souls serenity! Sounds sweet! Every word woven in this creates an artistic ambience and i am sure will do very well too in contest! Best wishes
