Bleeding below the horizon of night a scarlet sun tints the last shafts of light. In the ebony of space set with stars, Luna rises unashamed of Her scars. And as creatures gather beneath Her beams, She sends sprits to dance upon sparkling streams. Chilled air arrives riding an evening breeze, rustling the leaves atop the swaying trees. And yet, silence rebukes the slightest sound, as unseen animals scurry around. Ominous shadows now merge with the dark, while solitary silhouettes stand stark. But soon, dawn's first light resurrects the sun and rising as a phoenix, day has won. Night's nocturnal critters all disappear, waiting for the darkness to reappear. (Rhyme) 10/18/2020

A delightful read, Emile, and a worthy #1 win with Silent One. I loved the phrase "silence rebukes the slightest sound". Congratulations, my friend ~ John

This one is so much fun in a ghoulish short of way. Such clever lives and rhymes will certainly help you worm your way into the judge's skull.

What's not to love about your poem! From 'shafts of light' , to 'unashamed of her scars', through to the sun 's resurrection. Apt ' shadows merged with darkness ', a beautiful construction, Emile.!
