Before the Day Turns into Night Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Charles Messina

~ Placed First~

Staying at the western brink high Sun opens his fiery third eye Red tint quickly colors the sky With white chiffon clouds floating nigh Before the day turns into night Earth gets flooded in amber light God dips his brush in colors bright And the dusk turns a magic sight Bright light gives way to evening haze Quiet time comes to give God praise Twilight's loveliness does amaze Men's hearts in pure joy and mirth race Bask in setting sun’s glitzy gold A sedate time in thoughts to hold

Dear Valsa, the delicate combination of vivid colors, rough textures, sincere admiration, and vivid images allows your deft pen to express the captivating charm and slow ebb and flow of dusk. As a stunning climax, set between the light of day and the darkness of night, your poem's last line, "Bask in setting sun’s glitzy gold" is fitting. Your creative ability shines in the way you so deftly use rhyme and imagery. Your poetry has a mesmerizing quality that speaks to souls, my dear friend.

What resonates most deeply is the poem's celebration of quietude and contemplation. As evening descends and twilight envelops the earth, there is a profound stillness that pervades the atmosphere. It is a time for introspection and awe, as the beauty of nature inspires a sense of wonder and reverence. . It reminds us to pause, to savour the fleeting moments of beauty that grace our lives, and to find solace in the quietude of twilight's embrace.
