In The Shadow of Sunlight
Written: August 05, 2024 For Edward Ibeh Contest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flourishing strands of rose-colored mist,
Blend in with the gentle rays of dawn gist.
Silver vapors form around the equine nose,
Glistening bark recalls twilight pine as it froze.
As an argentite with a sapphire-like luster,
Inferno rippled amid a tranquil woodland tusker.
Below the canopy that casts a gloomy shadow,
Icy roads dare to swirl and twirl celestial hallow.
Skies atop mountains capped with snow,
Depicting strong sides and silky locks aglow.
The luminous caramel of dawn after dusk,
Luscious hooves gracefully waltz and husk.
On the clay that is entirely icy and faultless,
Bright-dappled alabaster begins dauntless.
A specter of light and dark, elusive and evasive,
Silent in the thrill of speed, coiled, suasive.
Furiously glints through a gap in the hedge,
Pebbles hit the soil, scatter, and wedge.
The rain fell from above in a stony sleet,
The horse grinds to a stop gracefully fleet.
Conducting an ecological survey,
Perched on her glorious, sun-kissed display.
