Notes About The Poem

Porcelain Sunset

Statuesque, in the literal sense
for of porcelain, she was sculpted.
So loved by the sun
that before drowning
in the sea, he whispered to her,
"A kiss bestowed on your brow,
to bring you to life.
Live during the moonlight's hours,
and each dawn she'll return you to me."

I could have this all wrong. Not sure. Rock people are too hard to fathom. Smiles! Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 5/27/2025 4:10:00 PM errr, uhhh. A reader of poetry certainly has the right to decipher whatever seems to be happening. My intent was that she was a gift that the sun gave to his love, the moon each night. Close. lol

Thanks for the read and your remarks. AP has a lot of interesting contests. I'm done with them here. I entered the last one today. AI users abound.

Ink Empress Date: 5/23/2025 10:28:00 AM This is so beautiful linnersz, i literally resonated with this for some reason and i absolutely love the picture youv used too and how youve titled it as porcelain sunset, and the lines “ So loved by the sun that before drowning in the sea, he whispered to her, "A kiss bestowed on your brow, to bring you to life.” gosh how do you come up with such poetic lines? You have a way with words that deserve more than just a comment praising how beautiful it is! Maybe a fave for now would do! Sending you light always Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 5/23/2025 10:35:00 AM You know I often write about the love between the sun and moon. This is his gift to the moon each night. Thanks for the encouragement. The picture was a prompt for an AP contest.
