Hello Everyone, it’s time to do this again!

Are you a poet? Do you enjoy writing poems until your heart is sore or until it soars?

I’ve held a poetry contest once before and I absolutely adored it! It was a blast and I got to meet tons of amazing poets and bloggers. For my current followers, you may have noticed an influx of poetry appearing on my own blog lately. What can I say, it’s simply flowing out of me! Anyhow, I am so excited to hold an “End of Summer Poetry Contest.” Unlike my first Poetry Contest, this contest is themed!

*Please be sure to read all of the rules, otherwise your poem may not be eligible!*

Summer (1)

Rules:

  • To be eligible for this competition you must be subscribed to my page (i.e. following and receiving emails.) Not subscribed yet? No worries! Go to my home screen…

Mermaid baby, little one, drift upon this silent sea

Find your place, among the waves, let the waters set you free

Let the sunlight guide you, though storm clouds threaten here

Bask in everlasting hope, knowing happiness is near

Sleep, for now, sweet baby, on a leaf, until the day

You hear the ocean call to you, tis love, it does convey

Asleep in the bed of an oyster’s chateau

The jewel of the ocean in illuminating glow

Pink against white against gray, simply grand

Mother of Pearl holds the sea in her hand

Dreams of the beautiful treasure she’ll grow

With one grain of sand and the waters below

Lined with nacre, layer upon layer

Mother of Pearl, iridescent purveyor

I could hear the pounding of your heartbeat

Like the pouring of the rain against this old house

Every inch, creaking, from the weight of the world

On shoulders that held more than they should

Taken in stride, as if this was your lot in this life

Never a complaint, you just went about your day

And night couldn’t come soon enough for you

Tired and weary, you had fallen fast asleep

Before I even had the chance to say thank you

For making my world a much better place to live

And this I know, as time passes, and days fade

You will always be the light that guides me

Shining within me, through my own darkest hours

Oracle of Life ~ #poetry

Priestess of the emerald wood

Shrouded in nature’s mystery

Branches reach to seek and find

A gentle beauty, strong and free

Oracle of Life, divine
Ageless in her sunlit stance
Graceful limbs intertwined
Mesmerizing at a glance

Leaves of green do bow and sway

In rhythmic symmetry

She breathes her soul into the day

With the beautiful splendor of a tree
