Exceptional blank verse Camellias bloom by Janet Foor Poem of the Month contest entry Artwork by Susan F. M. T. at FanArtReview.com

Camellias bloom along the garden walk reminding me of springtime long ago. The time you walked me home, that moment when we knew that we would be forever one.   Warm breezes blew across last winter’s grass that gently swayed as if it knew the song. That lullaby you sang and sang again the evening when our baby boy was born.   A Cherry blossom falls across my path. Another branch of flowers cascade down. At evensong, a robin sweetly sings while daylight fades into the hues of night.   Bright stars appear across the Milky Way. They shine and shimmer in the velvet sky. A cricket chirps beneath my windowsill and whispering your name, I fall asleep.       March 2021       Recognized Author Notes This is one that started in one direction and quickly went in another. Funny how that works sometimes.
