How it works:

I give you a list of 10 words and you must use at least 6 out of
10, preferably all 10 if possible.

The poems must make sense.

This week there is no poem size limit.

Poem style - your choice. It's up to you, whether you want to
write structured or unstructed, rhymed or no rhyme.



 

WORD LIST - Mar 16/05

Zephyr

Celebration

Scatter

Quest

Yard

Ultimate

Gossamer

Hugssss

Sassy *S*

"Trove Unknown"


While Equinox is out to play silently
An equal game of darkness and light
Zephyr plays his own game
By touching me ever so gently
Like me…we are on this ultimate search
As I sit here quietly
Covered by peace and tranquility
I can feel your touch of fresh air
As your breeze
Brushes through my hair
A flirting gossamer touch
Gently caresses my skin
As I stare upon the horizon wide
Our search…the guest in life
I can hear the laughter of drunken people
Celebrating St. Patrick's Day
In a distance far away
Havoc takes place...in my own backyard
Like a shooting star
Scatters a million sparks in different directions
The temptation to laugh
To separate good from evil
My goal in life I should rather avoid
That's why I am here
When the sun crosses the plain of earth's equator
And day and night are of equal length
My Trove still unknown…hidden in the dark soil of the earth.

Seeing as Easter is this coming weekend and people have a lot to do during holidays, I'm going to extend this challenge one more week and hopefully that will give those of us that haven't participated yet, a chance to do so.
 
Hugsssssssss

A Vernal Equinox

We have a celebration

for the quest of love

A vernal equinox

It's a rebirth

A treasure trove

A taste of spring

It's the ultimate quest

to go the extra yard

The Zephyr is temptation

as love comes to us

blown in, it is scattered

A gossamer caress

As the sun sets

It's a rebirth

A treasure trove

A lovers midnight

A vernal equinox

Enchanted Glade
S. Cat Mar 23/05

A whisper-soft, gentle zephyr
Heralds the Vernal Equinox
Nature's awakening kindles rebirth
Spring's aromas perfume the air

In a quest for complete solitude,
while wandering the sylvan paths
I discover a delightful treasure trove
A hidden glade sheltered deep within

Woodland creatures scamper away,
to hide amongst protective foliage
A few yards into the sun-dappled woods
Peering out curiously as I approach

A crystal clear pool beckons
'neath a gossamer-misty waterfalls
Liquid bubbles o'er the ciff's edge
Fine droplets scatter in the breeze

An overwhelming temptation to disrobe
Bare myself freely to nature's elements
Immerse, feel the water kiss my body
Defines the ultimate spring celebration.

I watched the celebration
As the zepher blew dandelion seeds
On gossamer parachutes
Across the yard to me.
 
It was a trove of beauty;
The ultimate surprize
And the temptation to play instead of work
Overcame me, as I watched the seeds scatter!
 
Oh, Beautiful Eqinox of Spring!

Beautiful poem Anita! You made great use of the words!  I could envision those little puff balls of dandelion seeds gently floating in the breeze.
