Good Morning! Announcing the first winner of the impromptu su | Imperium Press

Good Morning!

Announcing the first winner of the impromptu summer poetry contest I'm running to help support Imperium Press and their Substack!

Winners received a yearly subscription to Imperium Press substack. (https://imperiumpress.substack.com/ )

There is no set criteria for winners - just what I considered the best poem published that month.

For the Merry Month of May I give you: Aethelrey

White Flowers

When strolling through a meadow green
I smell and see how my flowers feel.

Some are small and only started tasting the solar beam
They don't yet know how corrupted their land might be...
Some stand tall with their spears high—
That pierce souls which collapse and cry.

All of them in stillness bloom—
So beautiful even when darkness looms,
So firm against the sudden air blow,
They embrace the summer & winter flow...

And I keep watching how this Earth is building
Its White Flowers named our children.
