Desert

The wide stretch, dry and sterile lay vast before our eyes. In the moonlit night, it glowed white. We felt, as if lost, in a land abstruse. Fury masked before us so calm! Here's an uncanny song heard, only in silence! Dec.11.2022 Writing Challenge – Yalto Form Poetry Contest Sponsor- Constance La France ~ Placed Third~ Entered For Brian Strand's Contest

Valsa, your desert is filled with life and the "uncanny song heard only in silence." Every word of your Yalto is perfectly placed and highlights the artistry of your pen and your creativity! Congratulations on your win dear friend. Hugs and blessings of sweet serenity that an experience in the desert can bring!

Some of the most desolate places on the planet glow with such beauty, alas, beauty that most of us neglect. This poem should awaken blurred senses! Happy Holidays Valsa!...ab
