Quote: The forest is my loyal friend. A Delphic shrine to me. Ralph Waldo Emerson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The forest is my sanctuary, a sphere of peace, a realm of solace, Dwelling in equanimity, conjuring serenity harmonious, flawless; Where my heart sings, humming hymns, lauding a tranquil place, Ringing soul’s sacred bells, echoing reverence of Delphic grace. Zealous vibes of the forest gleam, vying lure of enchanted eyes, Whether welcoming avid dawns, lifting with aureate sunrise, Or greeting dreams of rosy-eventide, themes esoteric surmise, Mesmerized by art of fuchsia motifs, upon sapphire-blue skies. In this forest often I find, angelic gifts of messengers divine, Much alike ancient prophecies, emanating from Apollo’s shrine, Bestowing blessings of Artemis, proffering halo of healing light, Where I enter edified, enlightened basking in solitude of night. Whispers-comforting soothe, life’s anguish in tender breeze, Strumming rhythms of leaves, conversing with sashaying trees, As tenor of birdsongs reverberates, propagating tunes of glee, Where animals roam freely, and butterflies chromatic spree. Living in the moments inspiring, as instincts erudite, spur me on, Leaving behind travails of past, and memories-wistful of bygone, Elevating reveries of morrow, yet, reveling in passions of now, Content I feel, in offerings of life, pleadings benevolent avow. Eternal feels its timeless domain, ethereal is its cherubic voice, In company of this selfless friend, mindfully, gratefully I rejoice; Reflecting on occult, yet, heavenly eloquence luring my mind, To decode the message of Delphic lexicons, Apollo enshrined.

If this doesn't come first, I'll start thinking that there is much wrong with the soup. An entertaining poem on a shrine which today must be in ruins. Your command of diction, alliteration and metaphors is excellent.

Your poem is truly a masterpiece, Vijay...I found the fluidity, cadence, and rhyme scheme made for a pleasant read. You beautifully described the emotions and feelings I have when I'm walking in a nearby park/forest. It is a timeless domain, I agree. I especially liked this verse: Living in the moments inspiring, as instincts erudite, spur me on,Leaving behind travails of past... in offerings of life, pleadings benevolent avow. I felt calm, serene and peaceful when reading your poem.

Your poem takes the reader on a serene journey into the heart of the forest, where tranquillity reigns and the soul finds refuge. The imagery painted by your words is vivid and enchanting, from the 'angelic gifts of messengers divine' to the 'strumming rhythms of leaves.' Each stanza unfolds like a tapestry of nature’s wonders, inviting the reader to immerse themselves in the beauty and serenity of the woodland realm. Best of luck in the contest..

Hello Vijay, What a beautiful ode to nature's sanctuary! You capture the serenity and awe perfectly—"equanimity," "Delphic grace," "fuchsia motifs." I really love the connection to ancient wisdom and divine messengers—"prophecies," Apollo," and Artemis." It's a truly immersive experience, finding peace and inspiration in the forest's embrace. Good Luck! - Blessings, Daniel
