Congrats to JLY for winning our 1st April 2005 Pandora's Box challenge: You are on a tropical island and come upon the waterfall (an image). Write about 'My day at the Falls'
Your entry link will now be displayed along with a 'special graphic' in your signatures! You have led your Muse to victory. JOY to you, oh mighty ones!  Cheers!  Mosaic Musings Staff       :roman:  Chaos Award  *Graphic provided by Celtic Castle Designs CASCADING TEARS Floral scented balmy breezes soothe my soul sitting at the edge of this unblemished water hole. These tropical falls are beautiful, big and bold dropping vertically, a powerful force to behold. In the wasteland of devotion the mists slumber, and nothing in this tranquil setting can encumber the rapid surge of nature’s free-falling perspiration from evolving into a lullaby of reflective inspiration. This lulling serenity elicits musing meditations on sorrows and brokenhearted frustrations, imagined by throngs of visitors over the years as a vista of fiercely flowing cascading tears. In the cavern of hunger the spirits float, offering vestiges of memories ne’er so remote. Wistful dreams contemplated on the beach, lamenting those unfulfilled, beyond my reach. Hopes and promises foolishly cast adrift as I find the pace of life unbearably swift. Traveling to this remote isle of nirvana comforts my vapid and pillaged persona. In the furrow of fantasy the whispers call, magical in nature, echoing melodies to enthrall. The sun-drenched horizon is ripe to tease with its surf-lapped sand and glittering seas. This glorious source of resplendent pleasure is a much welcomed blessed natural treasure. This peaceful slice of serendipity is no aberration as it once again evokes my heartfelt imagination. In the wasteland of clarity the visions wait, a prophetic sign I fear may come too late. Fleeting ambitions I can always achieve if I aspire to succeed and choose to believe. Copyright © John L.

Hi John,
Well done with this poem - must have taken quite some writing (don't think I've ever written on that long). I do admire your ability to write a long narrative poem. Congratulations. J. |
