I would like to nominate Syl's poem, Uncharted Bends, found in Seren's HERE.
It is a beautiful poem that transports the reader back to childhood days, but with a thought provoking twist in the end.
were magical instants in my forever days.
harken to birds' pecks in luscious grapevines.
or fields of maize crinkling in breezes.
alive with sounds of mimicking mutants.
as I relished the immediacy of cold water.
the echoing emptiness of the wilds.
everything holds enduring truths to a child.
Beautiful poem and great nom, Snow!
I have replied to you and Sylvia via the July IBPC thread in the staff forum. Syl - please let me know if you make any changes before the 1st.
Delighted with the nom, thank you Snow!
I've made some small changes after Lori's comments.
Great! I've got the latest revision in my file and will be sending tomorrow.
Hey, Cleo, I'm afraid you can't send in this poem because it has been published.
I've been too busy with personal matters to think about this issue, so sorry.
Thanks all the same, Snow, for the nomination. I'm still very pleased.
And thank you both for the great suggestions.
Oh well Syl - that's ok. At least it brought this lovely poem to attention!
Thanks for letting me know - I have removed it from the IBPC email I'm sending now.
