From Nightfall To Daybreak

The brooding lips of night, her frown when puffs of smoke dot blue sky's crown, stars bleed in ink as all blooms yield for the temptress of darkened field. Then howling breeze dressed in gray shawl, droops longingly to trace slow crawl a twilight tear from clouds is peeled for the temptress of darkened field. Dark goddess of time, shade of pale weariness bears like lost bird's wail, How chilled can silence grit eve's shield for the temptress of darkened field. The fond eyes of dawn, her close view shows night’s long shroud and crypt of blue, She snuffs each star, yet love’s revealed by the angel of brightened field. So harsh the role to kill with light, Shame shades her blush, first soft and slight, ‘Til full mercy shines, then all’s healed by the angel of brightened field. Day’s duty is to moonlight reap, Yet morning glows, can never sleep, Cascading dreams are kissed and sealed by the angel of brightened field.

Hey there Sister from Another Mother, high fives! Whata win! And I enjoyed touching my forehead to yours. Energy flows, doesn't it? I can hear your smile from across the ocean. Your asthma is improving, yes? Hugs, from a stuffy nosed Cyndi who has a head cold, but is feeling nice and warm

Nette, I now see why you and Cyndi garnered the top spot in the contest. Both segments were written quite well with pervasive descriptiveness and appropriate rhyming. Congratulations to both of you.
