Emblazoned

Rise Oh Sun! Your muted passage holds me possessed In passing beams of brilliant poetic imagery obsessed In the stream of dreams moving light to darkness to call On this point of wakeful art where headlands rise and fall Stanza extracted from Body Of Light, April 1, 2020 October 3, 2020 Rithimus Divisa 8 Poetry Contest Sponsored by Gregory Barden

This is wonderful writing, Lonna, and an excellent entry that I thoroughly enjoyed! Just a note to John's message - I do prefer exact rhyme, but creative near-rhyme is ok, too - it's when people think that "walking" rhymes with "hunting" because they both end in "ing", or say "careful" and "woeful" cuz they end in "ful" - that is NOT rhyme at all, and really what I'm referring to. John is not wrong, I just wanted to clarify a bit. Congrats on your win! :o) <3

Very nice Lonna enjoyed, just a note Greg mentioned he wants perfect rhyme not near rhyme. Last two lines might disqualify this one, just an observation you might want to think about.

John, you are a valuable and good poetry friend! Thank you for the guidance. Sometimes my free thinking makes my poetic expression with a little less discipline.
