Notes About The Poem

 

for Joseph May's Alpha Lines Poetry Contest

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Colorful Day to Night

A beautiful, colorful day elicits fantasy,
beginning with a dawn of tangerine-hued sky.
Envisioning a monarch’s wings fluttering,
into the sky with poetry I fly.

Lovely mellow noon offers pink quince
blossoming beneath a sky clear blue.
I imagine strolling with my love along a lane.
Romance, along with nature, blooms anew.

Radiant sun tumbles unabashedly violet
into its deep, mirroring, rippling sea.
I picture myself as a purple starling.
Winging beyond the horizon, I flee.

Lucid moonlit night opens pensively
as if it were a muse in a robe of bluish-gray.
One of myriad stars I now become,
wishing from Dreamland never to stray.

The best poem, deserving the win!!!Every stanza individually stands out as a single poem and when read together then also they make a complete poem. Multiple poems within a poem!!!

I didn't expect such depth from this contest prompt, you created a beautiful poem, and you absolutely make me ill; I do five words consistently, you do 6, twice, well, you do have the skills to show off! It's a good thing I love you. CayCay
