After Twilight Spoke

Verse | WHAT HAPPENED AFTER Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud Date: July 21, 2025 The clouds once soothed my skin. I breathed the wind rising high. Shadows lingered deep within. They vanish as light draws nigh. Velvet silence softly spread. Light came near with gentle steps. Truth arrived in twilight’s cape.

Greetings Rowena! There is such a sense of anxiety that is calmed by serenity in your poem. I loved the "velvet silence" and "light came near with gentle steps." These images are so beautifully written. Best wishes for Nette's contest. Blessings.
