Anecreontic Couplet Views

Anecreontic couplet Contest Silent One 7 syllables Candles dance, soft music plays Peace emerges many ways A night with toast of champagne Smiles shared, they will not refrain A kiss soft as petals shared Love like the candlelight flared If only this place could stay With dreams stopping time to play Their laughter sparks in the night Dark thoughts flee from pure light They're like two birds in a nest Together, comforted, blessed Then, hand in hand they will fly Promises without goodbye Knowing more celebration Will ignite such elation Flying with this gratitude Born from hearts, sights will be viewed Heidi Sands 12/23/23 Placed 1st with others
