Wow! What a fantastic poem! It is full of vivid imagery and creative phrases, great words that vibrate together with a resounding music and all of that works together in perfect synchronization to create the scene. Your readers can't help but see, hear, taste and feel just what you are describing. Such a wonderful poem. No wonder it was a winner! Congratulations. I'm very glad to see this poem recognized by the mysterious FanStory committee. You are very talented.

How did I miss this one? It won't let me give you six stars because I gush, but here goes. Short hand: orchid sky intricately latticed, nature's paradoxical jungle, quiet violet ocean horizon,frigid tumbleweeds,the early morning rooster shepherding his harem into the future. It's all magic. You just transport us into your world, even if we go kicking and screaming. lol
Wonderful work. Congrats!

What a wonderful atmosphere and pleasant moment you conjure here Visionary.
I could smell your grass through the coffee as my ass caressed the seams of Hawaiian dreams from here,
in wet n cloudy England.
Now the only 1 teeny weeny incy wincy thing that I felt was a bit outa kilter was ...
"In old and overstuffed, worn"
Blame my ignorance, but I wondered if perhaps adding a (my) or an (an) would read better? or am I barking up the wrong palm? ""In my old and overstuffed, worn"
None the less a very well written and wholesome read.
Kind regards Trimple:)

    hey there, trimple ... I could certainly add one of those for ease of reading, no sweat ... I try to cut down to essentials, but sometimes cut too much! I'll go back and take another peek! :)Sharyn

I like the images you describe here, starting the day with real cream in your coffee and birds chirping. This is a poem that makes the reader feel good and look forward to early morning and starting the day.

I think your poem begins with "Orchid sky..." And then it carries us through a plethora of multi visual images that overwhelm our senses. I think the poem ends "through the open door." The rooster shepherding his harem into the future might be added as a postscript. Best wishes. -Ekim777

A simple moment with a cup of coffee can have a powerful meaning. If we take time to see the view and notice the blooms around us, then the day will be more meaningful. You captured this truth in a spectacular free verse that should do great in the contest. Bravo!

This poem should do well in the contest, for it has all the qaulity of a well-written free verse
1) Perfect line breaks
2) Smooth flow
3) Alliteration
4) Metaphors
5) Unique imagery
4) Profound message.

With all that, this poem should place well in the contest. Good luck!

Sounds lovely! I love to visit Hawaii, but me thinks living there would be oh so much better! I liked the way the poem flowed in this free verse. Easy to read, and allowed me to "feel" and "smell" the breeze and fresh grass.
