Imperceptible

Come Dusk, Sol sinks into the pitch of Night, till crickets drown out bellowing bullfrogs. The sun bleeds, inking Night with blood-red light; while woodpeckers drum on hollowed-out logs. Splintered silhouettes silently conjoin; flowing into ebon pools of twilight. The sun gilds the moon, one side of the coin; golden spheres, fueling life with their light. Ebony cushions the whole universe, encrusted with billions of twinkling gems. Splendiferous pink-colored clouds disperse; while flowers nod off, snoozing on their stems. Tethered to time's imperceptible string, we're somehow connected to everything.

Emile, your mastery of poetry is breathtaking. The technical challenges of combining the constraints of a lipogram and sonnet seem formidable, yet you make it appear effortless. And the poetry you weave of sun and moon, not to mention your alliterations. I just love the line "Ebony cushions the whole universe". A Fave for me for this stunningly beautiful writing, my friend ~ John
