Summery muse
When golden orbs of sunshine
kiss your window sill
and sunlight enters
like divine floodlights
and warms you up softly
glinting upon your knick knacks
and the decor then shines
like glittery sequins
you know
it's time you stroll to the sunkissed beach
and let sand and sun combine
in olden golden shine
for holidaying kodak moments!!
Trees offer a background of tinsels
A sunshiny backdrop for snaps[b]
But in tropical places
the heat of the summer
can also be a real big bummer![/b]
Swimming pools a lucky escape
from a scorching parched landscape.

The words of the poem must be inscribed on the image itself (use the image as a background with the text superimposed). Remember, this is a visual poetry competition.

Make truth a lie to bare widespread confusion.
Pled life beyond death a life free of delusion.
Quenched by hopes tears that nourish the soul.
In hearts whose grown weary bitter and cold.
A sense so common so easy to see.
To this nightmarish madness of reality.
