At Moon’s Rising

At moon’s rising, the bed looks warm;
Inviting the cool silk to stir.
Negligee cloud waiting to storm;
At moon’s rising, the bed looks warm.
A bird and bee ready to swarm.
Ebonic light, prepares to purr,
At moon’s rising. The bed looks warm,
Inviting the cool silk to stir.

Wow! What an artistic and creative triolet poem! The imagery that you've painted here is so visceral and one can really feel the "cool silk" stirring! I would love to try this form too ~ feels intriguing! Brilliantly inked, sending you light and best wishes always.

Doesn't that bed look inviting as the sun starts to set and sometimes that moonlight comes in. This one reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Sara K.
