Elysian Shores - Poetry Slam 11
Elysian Shores
I sit and think
There is a feeling
I know I’d been here before
Just a couple steps out of Eden
Then I forgot her
The fruit I’d eaten
Got to my head
But deep inside me
I remember
Elysian vision
Got me walkin’
Talkin’ to the trees in the fields
Looking at the stars in the sky
I see the vision of the fortunate isles
I see the children of the blessed ones
Rhadaman thus ran among us
Now there’s no one to judge us
No need for clothes now
Nothing to hide
Anything lost
Can be found
A haven of rest
For a weary soul
With sorrows forgotten
We sing ode to joy
I skip down the path
of Elysian Fields
I hear Elysian songs
from the birds around
Pa-pa-pa-Papagana, Papagano
Dancing to a magic flute
The muses lead my feet
Down that street
Where the happy soul takes its place
On the ocean shores
Way over the mountain brow
To my journey’s end
I salute Cronus
And his Elysian cronies

QTTA: (QUESTION TO THINK ABOUT)
What's the best way to get some rest?
I love you all.
For amazing adventure in English please follow @mineopoly mining the heart.
You have the detail of a good situation description and I get carried away in your word.
Thanks for reading @anggreklestari. This is truly my vision of an Elysian heaven as Homer himself might have dreamed it.
Me too, dear @mineopoly, I join this :=)
Gracias Hermana. A piece of heaven over the hills at the shore where the road ends. Finally some rest from the rain.
Beautiful the haiku-style poem. After the rain comes the calm.
You got it. A beautiful weekend here. Amazing
This is fantastic. I enjoyed this thoroughly. So much so that i'm inspired and am gonna enter the contest as well. Addicted to words.
Great. I saw your entry for this week. It seems that the topics are getting more and more specific but it is always fun to make a recording and even better to get rewarded for it. Good luck @cryptoprofessor.
Thanks @mineopoly. I must say it was quite fun to make a recording for sure. Haven't done that in while. Are you not entering this round?
@therealwolf 's created platform smartsteem scammed my post this morning (mothersday) that was supposed to be for an Abused Childrens Charity. Dude literally stole from abused children that don't have mothers ... on mothersday.
