I would like to nominate Treasures by Psyche (Sylvia) located in Seren's Synapse. This poem is so beautiful, with stunning imagery throughout, with much to read between the layers. It's found in Seren's Synapse.
QUOTE TREASURES
Spring lightning! At dawn it reveals naked Andean peaks, in the evening it disrobes pastures. Threads of rain reflect rainbows between lake and heart-shaped hills. I dream that you caress my cheeks as we move, side by side, along spirals that ebb and flow like galactic tides. I awaken on a bed of tender leaves. You are no longer there. Yesterday, capricious Spring drew aureoles on the lake. I gathered shells sculptured by water nymphs and lifted twigs whose smooth fingers had dimpled the sandbanks. Stroking algae, moss, tasting froth in the hollows of my treasures, I carried them home, but they forgot their beauty on the beach under showers of incandescent rain. You were not waiting for me. Today, I lie in the shade of a blossoming apple-tree. I listen to insects' concerts, sense humming-birds’ ardour as they sip nectar from half-open buds. Their titillating wings remind me of your lips, your soft skin, of you. A dogrose thrusts virile roots deep into Mother Earth, dropping petals from its branches around my thighs. I taste dewdrops on my tongue and remember your naked body, loving me. I’ll carry these memories home. Will you be waiting for me? ······· ·······Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.

 Hmmmmm ... Kathy I am both happy and sad. I am very sad that these wonderful poems are not eligable for nomination in IBPC, but I am happy that your poems are published, as that is the intention here with IBPC, is to get excellent poetry such as this, read by a larger audience and published as an end result. So you've already acheived this! YAHHHH, but I would have LOVED this to have been a representative of MM's family!

That's the trouble with getting things published. It's a bit like eating cake, 'cos you don't have it any more. And who knows who reads my published ones? Prob'ly in a bookcase somewhere, sad and dusty.

I would like to nominate Petra's Splendor, by Merlin. It can be found at http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=10007
QUOTE Petra's Splendor Olive trees guard castle towers where one weary, footsore soldier paused enraptured, spellbound silent, several centuries ago. He was homeward bound from fighting far afield in Nabataea, from that land of stone and splendor, filled with Hellenistic grandeur throughout tombs and striking temples and its pillared palace walls. Petra's fall went not to armies. In a shining Baroque city sits a dark-haired man of thirty underneath a massive olive whose extended branches beckoned to a passing caballero seeking respite. As he listens to the birdsongs he drifts back in time, recalling how she gave her youthful body and they loved in fervid frenzy while a far-off, faint Angelus pealed the faithful to their duties. Flown, those kindled helix hours when they romped through hills and canyons, laughed and loved beneath one myrtle, till their amethystine river lured him to enchanted places brimmed with charm and daunting skylines. Flown away like fleeting birdnotes... Oftentimes he thinks of Petra. It's a fine, inspiring poem, with great imagery and a brilliant evocation of an ancient myth (seldom poetized on, as far as I know). Hope Merlin accepts!
