Sam Kauffman Poet Rubaiyat

1442

1442 Contest 2-1-26  Aubergine is a deep purple color.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1442

In a midnight jubilee of snows
When Aurora's magic flows
In her empty realm of white
Her colors leap in ebbs and flows.

Her magic splashes through the nights
She decorates with neon delights
A chartreuse rush - a ruby storm
Gossamer flashes soar the heights.

Electric flares born from solar storms
Gather in her slender forms
With corals, reds and shapes of greens
Her artic light show, new art forms.

Through this portal - dark astral scenes -
Her kaleidoscope flies and then careens
In waves of handsprings through glacial skies
And love notes written in aubergines.

sara Etgen-Baker February 3, 2026 at 4:01 PM I do so enjoy your poetic voice and imagery...and this rubaiyat is beautifully written. I especially liked these last three lines: Her kaleidoscope flies and then careens In waves of handsprings through glacial skies And love notes written in aubergines. Sam Kauffman February 3, 2026 at 8:55 PM Thank you so much, Sara! I am deeply honored. But you know that door swings both ways! Love your images and you poetic artistry like the reading glasses! This is basically a new form for me and I had such fun playing with Aurora! Hugs and blessings!!

Andrea Dietrich February 2, 2026 at 4:18 PM So lovely and I learned a new color name. I think his current contest is for haiku. I should see if you fared well with this one or not . Thanks for reading my fictional Happy Love poem, Sam Sam Kauffman February 2, 2026 at 5:32 PM Hi Andera! Thank you. Love the color aubergine - eggplant - and it was fun to use it in this poem.. Just re-checked the contest. The only thing Brian mentions is the poem has to be about nature. I always appreciate your supportive comments as I often make mistakes! Thank you my friend. Blessings of Aurora's to you!
