Notes About The Poem

Creeping

The shadows were creeping like golden summer,
Upon arising covertly, from crimson dawn mists,
And they shrank at noon to a realm just under,
Then idly resumed, their daring sunshine risks,
'Til plum twilight, and a kingdom they'd missed!

An aura of mystery just hangs over, under, around and through this beauty, Evelyn. I like it for the contest! Happy weekend, Gershon
