A Pink And Blue Sky

Dawn pierces the dark at first light as flocks of mourning doves take flight. And though sullied skies seem so stark: at first light, Dawn pierces the dark. Sol liquefies like molten gold that's incredible to behold. For just as the sun starts to rise, like molten gold, Sol liquefies. Darkness flees into the shadows, like a merging murder of crows. And as birds abandon the trees; into the shadows; darkness flees. Colors intensify with light as sunlight supersedes moonlight. And inking a pink and blue sky with light, colors intensify.

Very well done, Emile. Excellent example for your contest. I don't recall if there was a rule about this, but I don't think I've ever seen a swap quatrain with more than 8 syllables per line. I wonder if ten can be used. No matter. I have done a few of them in the past and I think I used only 8 syllable lines. I believe this to be one of the coolest poetry forms I ever saw invented in the new century!

Thanks, Andrea, I use 8 syllables per line, but because it isn't specified in the definition, I will accept other syllable counts. As always, I welcome and appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.
