I Am Anaya Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

FOURTH PLACE

The Sky In July Poetry Contest

Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

Syllables 15,15,15,15

From Dusk To Dawn

A Twilight ends the sweltering day with a dusky simmer
    American liberty, is what we're commemorating       
Firecrackers burst above us, romantic, lights that shimmer
Under a lit sky we stand, with family celebrating

Andrea Dietrich July 17, 2022 at 11:40 AM very nice. I wonder if my comment will even go through. I was not able to comment at your blog and half the time i can't comment on your poems. Anyway, congrats, dear. (I prefer shorter lines for iambic pentameter, for future reference) I Am Anaya July 17, 2022 at 7:46 PM I think your browser is blocking my site because I use public Wi-Fi, most of the time!
