Dusk, slow dancing solo takes one last dip; is swept up into nightfall’s widening arms
Shadows shy, pirouette and bow; twilight’s last gift delicately cede to darkness deep
Moon, captive at horizon’s edge, breaks free, rising red above oceans waving blue
Sand sparkles diamond dust, evening orb light’s luminescence captured
Stars steady, celestial cues twinkle; tease, infinity’s guide at a glance
Temporal the time.. curtain call commences.. enter dawn’s curtsey…

What a beautiful word picture you paint, Denise, with an accompanying soundscape of alliteration to carry it along. ‘…enter dawn’s curtsey…’ Perfect finish.

Superb, Denise, especially ‘swept up into nightfall’s widening arms’ and ‘rising red above oceans waving blue’. Please tell me that you are going to offer this to some poetry journals.

Thank you, Doug. Hadn’t given it thought. Truth be told, I’ve no idea how to go about doing that. A project for the new year?

Get rid of the question mark, Denise, and make it a priority task. 🙂 There are a gazillion poetry sites and magazines out there but start with this excellent list. https://blog.reedsy.com/poetry-submissions/

And that voice of Eilen…
(Note to self: combinations like your current one justify the poet saying : “Goodnight;Too much Sunday for one person… ”
I’m off to jam over Eilen’s I remember you)

Thank you, Chris!
There was a very long list on the site Doug directed me but all the ones I’d gotten through, as of last night, didn’t accept submissions already published somewhere else. I’ll keep looking and in the meantime, keep my poetry stuff to my self for now on, lol.

A beautiful set piece of words, D, with a beginning, middle and an end:
“Dusk, slow dancing solo takes one last dip”
“Evening orb light’s luminescence”
“Enter dawn’s curtsey…”
(that last line is perfect!) 😎
