Jolted By Twilight Poetry Contest

Sponsor Di11y Da11y

Contest Winner Medal Third Place

Once again the silvery moon has pilfered the golden sun Total eclipse is upon me, time has elapsed suspending orange Twilight’s begun on the orb’s descending softer glow Veiled in twilight… Placid and limitless, I’ve glimpsed into the frontier in tranquil rapture Moon aligns sans sun’s bright face Jolted by twilight… I coast along a sea of stars juddered wildly Waves spanning the sky avec abandon Embraced by star-strewn externals I leave behind a familiar harbor Anchored are my temporal remnants down in the terrestrial realm My spirit soaring, a mirthful lodger I be, swimming in twilight’s radiance Its celestial smile shall be the death of me... embracing star-strewn crowned external forevers~ we soar the tides dance

Anaya, great graphic and even a little French in the poem. Remarkable and makes me smile.

How can I describe your poem? Just beautiful is almost an insult. This is beyond excellent. I loved it. Hugs.

When I said have a compelling opening line you really understood the assignment! "Once again the silvery moon has pilfered the golden sun" - I'm always drawn in by a conspiratorial vibe. Beautiful from beginning to end.

Ty a million x's, Di11y, your comment is worth a fortune to me. I'm pleased with my placement in your challenging contest and look forward into the beyond for more! A conspiratorial wink ~ xo

Your poem’s celestial imagery of the moon, sun, stars, and twilight creates a powerful sense of the vastness and beauty of the cosmos. The “silvery moon” stealing light from the “golden sun” represents a momentary eclipse, a transition from day to night that symbolizes movement from the familiar to the unknown. The eclipse metaphor serves as both a literal image and a metaphor for a deeper journey into one’s own interior world, where earthly concerns are momentarily eclipsed by asense of cosmic connection.

Impressions by the eclipse highlights and a captured sense of twilight, yes movement. I hope you found it jolting, SO Ty for your cosmic comments!

A fairly recent photo of myself I put it through a filter called "cut out" the other day, makes it look like an album cover, but hey hippy is good. I'm Cal Jam 2 era, Ty, Tommy, ~ Valley girl

Wow this is beyond beautiful dear anaya, every word woven in this haibun is stellar! Magical and moving! Left me in awe! I love the haiku too at the end! Youve written one that is cosmically pleasing in such a descriptive manner with sumptuous diction! A fave this one is for me! Love it! Best wishes for the contest too. Sending you light always
