Poetry to Ponder

Posted on 20 Oct 202220 Oct 2022 by Colleen M. Chesebro

The #MWP (Moonwashed Weekly Prompt) is stupendous, and Sadje’s #WDYS image is below. I’ve written a double Lyrette (2-3-4-5-4-3-2).

At Sunset

sunset—
time's moment
breath of nature
scarlet reflections
like waves on sand
disappear
at night

silence—
stupendous
in the night sky
luna's light on waves
reflections weave
memories
inside

The night sky does hold a profound silence. (K)

Beautifully written Colleen. Sunset is fleeting indeed and then the show put on by the moon takes over. Thanks for joining in.

  Thanks Diana. We actually had a pink sunrise this morning! It’s been cloudy and cold all week, so now I can think about the first blush of dawn! 🥰
