I Witness

DUSK EXUDES FIERY GOLDEN HUE whispers prelude to a rendezvous of two souls once lost by the blue bay~ reuniting as night captures the day. INDIGO JEWELS KISS LONESOME MOON playing hide-and-seek with the clouds as lovers adrift in night’s afterglow~ As if there is no tomorrow. NEON OPAL PEARLY QUARTZ RESTS SILENTLY in my wrist that ceases to tick as I watch them fade away~ with the shimmering stars faraway. 3 August 2021 “Alpha Lines Poetry Contest” Sponsored by Joseph May A Briand Strand Rime Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand 1st place

I have no idea what this contest was all about, but after reading this exquisite delight I am interested in knowing more.

This is really good work and I was trying to see why it would not have made the list, and then I noticed something. The last alpha line goes N/O/Q/R/S (you left out P!!!) I think if it were not for that, this stunning poem would have been a winner.
