Prelude

Opaque moon our beacon in the night's darkness In the museum of time the nocturnal hours are the most annoying. We creep in the monolith shadows hiding from the vicious and vindictive. Frightened by the grim and gruesome blown out of proportion by fear and everything that's awful. We look to the oval moon as a prelude for delightful daylight. We take pride and feel fortunate in finding the dawn, blushing bright, victorious. We patronize the amazing opening of day, drawn to her light. For Shadow's Make a Poem *2 N/A’d Darkness versus Light is the theme Use all the words listed below *Awful, *amazing, *annoying. *grim, *gruesome, *delightful. *frightened, *fortunate, *finding. *monolith, *moon, *museum. *oval, *opaque, *opening. *patronise, *pride, *prelude. *vicious, * vindictive, *victorious.

This looks like an exceptionally difficult challenge to write a poem with all those words, while still keeping it relatively short. It came out pretty natural though ... and I was drawn to the last four lines the most.

A fine job indeed. This line is particularly magical "We creep in the monolith shadows hiding from the vicious and vindictive."

Always brilliant to see you, Nette: I will visit soon. I have had a hectic few months re- locating. Still busy un-packing in the midst of renovating at the same time. Always have a broom in my hands it seems....lol.Luv, Suz

You have written a delightful poem of hope, SuZ, and what is really amazing, is that one does not notice the restrictiveness of the required words. Best of luck in the contest! Cheers, David
