Dear Friends
Thank you for visiting my Blog.
The presence of nature and its elements has always been seen in poetry. In this type of poetry the central theme is written including elements such as: water, a meadow and shade of trees. In this landscape amorous scenes or dialogues are produced. Nature also represents the place where everyone who wants to lead an austere life, away from worldly things, as a way to achieve wisdom should retire.
In this new edition of the lyrical poetry contest, I invite my friends to develop their imagination considering the benefits of nature and reflect their impressions on this very significant topic.
Lyrical poetry contest - Nature
I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature. Paulo Coelho
Now in this opportunity I have to refer my friends a new call for the lyrical poetry contest, considering that each of us has a perception of what nature (naturaleza) represents.

My contribution
Reflecting on the theme of this new call to contest I leave my contribution:
Being on the edge of the cliff,
my wild spirit remembers those moments
when you dreamed about changing the world
Your face reflected an indescribable joy.
Now time has passed
my sadness remains after losing you
with the daily struggle of loneliness
and the comfort of beautiful nature.

Winner 3 SBI :
His poetry entitled Sobre el amor y la alegría. He includes some reflections on love and joy in a beautiful poetic rhyme, here I transcribe his final verses.
...
Se me haría tan infinito
describir los mil detalles
y quizá me faltaría
vida para terminar.
¿En dónde está la alegría?
Para mí, siempre al amar.
Eso, para culminar.
Runner UP 1 SBI :
With the prose "Oh Sublime Alegría", Inspired by such a beautiful theme of joy gives us a sweet concept of it.
La vida es maravillosa cuando tú estás junto a mi
¡Eres mi más grande anhelo, la pasión de mi existir!
Oscilando está mi alma de ilusión y frenesí.
Musitando versos nuevos cuando estás dentro de mí…
....
