Words of wonder, with varied hue
Mixed and mingled, to add some glow;
Mystic melodies, each time new,
A lovely fantasia, heard, but slow..
On fresh green leaves, like the morning's dew
A distant dream, in silence seen ,
'Midst the mist, a seducing view
Of the future, present and all that's been.
In search of emotions, a careless stroll,
Bliss supreme, the guiding goal.
Words of wonder, woven with care
An unplanned sojourn destined somewhere..

Thankyou Andy. No it isn't any specific form as such
-
This strikes me as a poet who sets out to write a poem with only wonderful words to guide them. Is this a form poem? I enjoyed the rhyme. A very good write.

An another jewel in the Crown
A bag of fantastic imaginations packed in a nutshell my dear Rasberry !
Gr8t piece of work and well deserved in the annals of AP.
Deep within each heart there lies a magic sparks,
That lights the power of all our imagination...
And when we treasure our dreams,
the strength to fulfill accompanies it,
its on us how we utilize it for a good cause or a bad !
Society is built on trust and trust upon confidence in one another's integrity.
To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.
Never make a promise in haste.
Without TRUST, LOVE is nothing.
Without communication in words life is nothing !
best of luck always my dear...

"On fresh green leaves, like the morning's dew
A distant dream, in silence seen ,
'Midst the mist, a seducing view
Of the future, present and all that's been."
My favourite stanza. Not just green leaves - fresh. Dream in silence seen - observing, spectating our own thoughts. Loved it. Midst the mist (tongue twister i enjoy), seduce - always love. The last line is so true. I feel that our dreams are not hindered by the past, present or future. We can look into anytime anyplace. Loved this poem very much. Thank you for sharing!

I loved the words, the flow and rhyme. Except for the place where you rhymed seen with been. That totally threw me. Knocked me right out of my reverie. It took but a moment to fall back in, but the memory of that little bobble just lingered there in the back of mind, bothering me. Still the rest of the poem was beautiful.
Good luck in the contest. Patti

Fantabulous
Words are wonderful
you must know,
when you write them ,
emotions flow.
When you speak them,
loud and clear,
words thus spoken
can wipe a tear.
Words have colour
style and rhythm
they got birth
in diferent kingdoms
Words have tremendous power
to speak the truth
words have magic
to tame the brute.
Words can bring
a tear to your eye
words can bring a smile
when you cry.
Words can change you
when you are down
words can pronounce
the king and crown.
Words are agents
of expressive glee
words are seductive
as necter to a bee.

"Mixed and mingled, to add some glow ...
Words of wonder, woven with care
An unplanned sojourn destined somewhere.. "
A poem about poetry from the poets perspective. LOL ... I very much enjoyed this, especially the above lines. I think as a previous commenter said, that despite the seemingly endless lines of works on a single subject (like love for example) we still find something beautiful and new in many works from the mere wonder of the way the words are mixed and mingled, never necessarily a fresh perspective, but rather a fresh expression.
I particularly loved the last line as well, because often when we lift the pen to write or begin to tap away rhythmically at these keys, it is an unplanned adventure that was destined before even the beginning to take us somewhere ... unknown and unknowable and yet at each conclusion we've reached a new destination in our poets destiny. Bravo! And good luck!

I love this piece because it even though the language is quite simple the way they have been used gives it a very powerful feeling. I love those lines in the first stanza :
Words of wonder, with varied hue
Mixed and mingled, to add some glow;
Mystic melodies, each time new,
A distant fantasia, heard, but slow..
especially that third line. Despite many poems being written on the same theme, you always find something new that makes you go WOW.
a REALLY great effort here and I wish you the best of luck for the contest. -
Spiffy
Wow! I really love the word choice and beauty in this one! -
A marvellous piece, couldn't have been better!
You truly hit the target!
Wonderful flow of emotions!
Great piece!

fantastic poem
Yes, Indeed. Words of wonder. God, with words you can weave magic. Manipulate them to your own devices. Mold them. I especially like the lines: 'A distant dream in silence seen.
Midst the mist, a seducing view. Of the future, present and all that's been.' That is so true when you are devising a poem. At first the words are a distant dream, in silence seen.
And then they grow like a seed, form, produce. And they do give you a seducing view of how the poem could be and end. I took your poem to mean this - the way words form in your head, teasing and seducing you until you have to work on them and get them down on paper.
Then you tell, in your poem, of the future, present and all thats been, just in those words. Fantastic poem. This is exactly how I view my own poetry. Starts off as an idea, forms, grows and then the end product. -
Exquisite
"Words of wonder" how appropriate You have targeted the essence of every poet and hit the bulls eye. A light ethereal tone adds to the reading experience. You are a wordmeister of great talent. Kudos...Deb

Very nice
I enjoyed this poem. It has a faintly mystical appeal to it. My favorite stanza is the last. It speaks to the heart of every poet. -
enjoyable with great imagery
