Notes About The Poem

for Nette Onclaud's Snapshots Of A Night Scene Poetry Contest   May 18, 2026

Meeting in the Dark

In a garden of deliciousness, exitedly we'd meet at midnight when the only light was the moon glow in your eyes so sweet, and I, starry-eyed, would wait - drunken with love for you like the well-watered roses by the gate. The love that blossomed there seemed so true, but somehow that view left me; youth’s best hours are but memories of fragrant flowers.

Congratulations dear poetess on your top win in this contest with a romantic poem depicting snapshot of a night scene with a fertile mind and a lovely pen. It is true some memories of youth visit us oft and anon. But meeting at midnight, I would take it with a grain of salt, though fitting for a poem...Wishing you a blessed day.
