Hi Tinka, I believe that Sassy meant amidst which is defined:
1 : in or into the middle of : surrounded by : AMONG
Hope that proves helpful, I couldn't find a definition for that
other spelling either. So... Sassy! lol
Hugs
Dale

"Last Cargo"
 
I pulled my car over
To watch the fiery sunset all alone
And to watch the transformation of great beauty
To a life amidst
Ageless mountains and sea
I could not believe my eyes
And in total amazement
A behemoth wave
Splashed down
Like dinosaur tears rolling to shore
Anticipates a storm for sure
I instinctively pulled my head back
As I saw this gigantic creature crawling
Licking those tears away
A chimera of diluted recollection
I started to weep without joy
Watching the promontory
High ridge of land jutting out into
A body of water
In many shades of jade
To become weary…spiritless
Beneath a misty clouded sun
Licking the last cargo
Spawn washed upon the shore

Amidst a fiery conflaggeration

And a bit of jade

Completes the transformation

Through the misty haze

It appears. Science,

Myth and imagination

Has spawn

This behemoth,

A creature

No one wants

Or understands

But it's like

The rest of us

It wants to be loved.

On the promontory

He stands

The winds of spring

Filled with sweet scents of passion

He anticipates

But alas such things

Are merely a chimera.

LOL @ Tinka - you have a wonderful sense of humour lady! *S*
 
You're doing a fantastic job on these word challenges! So is everyone else.  The poems are outstanding and what I like is the fact that
most of us wouldn't write on the topics we do for these challenge normally, because the words aren't something we might always use, so that's why I pick some of them, to stretch the imagination, and believe me, all of you are fulfilling this beautifully!
 
I promise to TRY and not make a spelling goof like that again Tinka, I have a habit of posting sometimes when I'm very tired and don't always catch my goofs! 
 
I'll have to see what words I can come up with for next weeks, starting on Wed! *S* 
 
You do know everyone, you can if you wish, do more than one poem per word list, I know Tinka has, and I have for different ones, but all of you feel free, to write more than one if you like. 
 
Thanks for participating and I can't wait to see if any others will join us in these challenges!  C'mon you folks sitting out there, get your pens busy and see what you can create too! *S*
 
Hugsssssssssssss
Sassy *S*

I had these words written down from that challenge,
which I can't seem to find Sassy.
 
fiery amidst transformation behemouth anticipates
promontory jade misty spawn
 
and came up with this poem.
 

Lonely Nights

These lonely nights are here again
the shadows of my memories
slip into my head

The behemouth of our parting
was loudly proclaiming victory

Once the night was jade
A jewel of misty beginnings
The night had become so lonely

Once we sat under a fiery sky
anticipating one anothers love
She was a chimera flying low

She was a she-devil of delight
only here to spawn

In the lonely night she'd come
our kisses were a transformation
amidst the starry light
The end was near
Our love making ended

The lonely nights were shadows
