Nonet Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Ink Empress

~ Placed First~

As the sun gently slid down western hills, a large mass of clouds some grey, some white, some pink lay spread across the blue sky. The lazy wind darned their edges, with its wanton hands to a cluster. Golden twilight spread across the earth. Crickets were singing in chorus. Fireflies flashed their tiny lights. Stars arrayed in night sky. Moon showed her fair face. Sky was teal blue. Earth fell still. Darkness, loomed.

A very expressive and descriptive double Nonet you have written. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing it with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Oh my, this is an outstanding take for the nonet contest, my dear poetess! Reading your words always elevates my soul to an abode of whimsical poetry, where my heart wishes to swirl in the elegant cadence of these beautiful phrases.. Such a gorgeous tapestry of imageries and emotions you've painted here.. This one absolutely bewitched my soul.. "As the sun gently slid down western hills", "Golden twilight spread across the earth", "Fireflies flashed their tiny lights.Stars arrayed in night sky"

Gosh, so many amazing lines here.. "Moon showed her fair face.Sky was teal blue" And that ending has a slight hint of sombre feelings which dwell in darkness.. A profound write! I'm sure this will do very well in the contest, best of luck :)

Outstanding Nonet, Valsa. Your imagery is spectacular. You've beautifully captured the essence of twilight and dusk--my favorite time of the day--a time of introspection and peace. Best wishes with the contest....have a great evening, Sara

An exquisite nonet that portrays the marvels of dusk and twilight. I adore that period when the planet is silent. Good luck with the contest dear Valsa
