Sotto Poet Poet Quatern

Listen to poem:

Embracing Dusk

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

Silent One November 23, 2023 at 10:46 AM 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..
