Listen to poem:

GOTCHA !

Written: July 24, 2025, for contest sponsored by Mystic Rose Rose ******************** *Tingly skies full of surprise oh how I love when with surmise,* *the little rascal aims his dart as if it were, poetic art!* Through velvet dusk, his silence cascades, as nectar from a flame, eclipses serenade! Where shadows intertwine with twilight grin, and the golden hour dons a seraph's skin! With an elfin purpose, he weaves the stars together in a rhythmic pulse! Weaving a quilt with celestial stigmata, every sigh morphs into a veiled sonata! And every wave carries a soaring voodoo, and features stories steeped in occult vampires and hoodoo! Embers of thirst twist and twirl, sculpting the stillness into a dulcet layout of pearl! Under the moon's persuasive weight, sanity dances into the embrace of rose-bound kismet fit! A grin, a glance—a world reborn, eclipsed by dreams we dare not outrun! Each heartbeat held beneath amber blue, a whisper elegantly woven in déjà vu! And as the winds of will fall slow, and reason slips into a lover's shoe !— *When Cupid's arrow aims for you, there isn't much that you can do !*

Hello Sotto, I do believe you’ve sculpted a cosmos where desire, madness, and magic waltz in unison. Such a lush invitation into myth and mood. I’m bewitched, and I wouldn’t change a thing. Summer Blessings, Sotto, Daniel
