Embracing Dusk

Listen to poem:
Written: November 23, 2023 _______________________________________________ As twilight shifts from day to night And lowering sun dims her light To grant the moon to show its sway And then yield yet another day Anemone birds start to flight As twilight shifts from day to night To stalk the sky in quest of prey That's veiled beneath the cloak of grey The swooping hunter's prying eyes Lastly, he landed on his prize As twilight shifts from day to night They roam, unaware of their plight Then zooming headed for the ground The seeker strikes without a sound A way to soothe his appetite As twilight shifts from day to night

You've eloquently described nature's hunters and their prey. You seem to have such an incredible ability to create rhyme schemes that are smooth and flowing while using elevated vocabulary, an ability I sincerely admire. Your amazing talent is on display with this poem. Have a splendid evening, dearest Sotto. your poetess friend, Sara

I dont think I have ever written a quatern and if i have it must have been years ago.. great use of refrain and it fitted in very well in each stanza.. it did not effect the rhymes and the flow.. as always your choice of words add great impact to your poetry, where words come to life..
