to creatively recreate in a brief poetic form the inspiration for a previously written poem. Now there's a very interesting poetic "theme".

TWILIGHT She creeps across the fading sunset darkness stalking in shadow following the whims of time blowing out the flickering candles closing the windows on a silenced day. She is less feared, more subtle, than Death’s slashing scythe. Stealth is her game, secrecy her strength, table setter for the final curtain call, Her cool shivering chill the first - and last - hint of her presence as she creeps across the fading sunset. 9/21/2016 To become the twilight live fully in her fleeting moment feel the chill of darkness snuff her life unleash her metaphoric complexity upon a cold, moonless night 11/23/2016 Submitted to – Take The Dagger From My Heart, Please – 3 (NA’s from September, October, November 2016 Contests) – Poetry Contest Finalized Contest – TWILIGHT Contest finalized on 9/24/16

I really enjoy the personification of twilight. She is a creeper that comes on unnoticed. Good write.

This time of day has never been penned any better in my opinion. This poem was hypnotizing and enchanting John. This I the kind of poem that one could easily get lost in and never want to find their way out. Beautifully written.
