Shadow Hamilton's Monorhyme contest

KISSING THE MOON Twilight displays striations of multicolored light. The shrewd sun and morose moon, begin to fight. Amber spreads her net across the horizon of night. Five minutes pass, and appears, a beautiful sprite, pirouetting across the burgeoning couple’s plight,* fanning out skirts of tourmaline tints, blushing spite – rufescent. Soul reverberates, this explosion of might, viewed through a woman’s eyes, so vivaciously bright. The sun blows a kindred kiss, disappears out of sight, as the giddy moon bids adieu in black and blue flight. 2/12/2017 *engagement of sun and moon
