Notes About The Poem

"Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible to feeling as to sight? Or art thou but a dagger of the mind, a false creation, proceeding from the heat-oppressèd brain?"

I May Or May Not Be Opposed - Contest

From crashing waves he emerges with the clarity of a wide landscape
The king of darkness
Parades
In full view
His garish, monochrome ego
Emergent for all to despise

Original poem (extract):

"Into the ripples of the horizon's haze
The queen of the daylight
Slinks
Then is gone
Her wispy train of colour
Vanishing"

[From Poem: Sunset, Sam Scott 14.09.23]

Sara Kendrick January 3, 2024 at 4:46 AM Creative lines penned in both. I like the vision of dark after sunset as well as the descriptive lines about the sunsetting. Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go.
