Garden Party

Rejoicing in the time of the end of Hitle's reign. Written for 10/40 poetry contest. Using these words:perfume splendid presence oblivion purer glass sky serene two merciful

 Jasmines' aromatic perfume 

Through splendid gardens

Hushed conversions created  presence

Outside matters thrust into oblivion

No purer night 

Friends raised their glass toasting sky

Serene promises made that garden of lasting friendships

Two  jasmines watched

Life finally merciful to all

Author's Note

This is set in Germany during the ending reign of Hitler. A tyrant finally dissolved....

[Eddie Cazenovia]

I dig the subject and the presentation, it's a cool idea.
The writing itself is very righteous, but seemed a little vague (but that could easily just be me).
It was cool though, thumbs up.

Laura, you did a wonderful job with this challenge. Your images of post-Hitler Germany, the happiness expressed in a clinking of toasting glasses, the scent of jasmine! You write very well!!

What a beautiful poem - being able to do a simple act of enjoying the night air with friends and celebration is something that we take for granted these days. but i can feel the sense of release here.

Thank you for sharing.
