Moonlight on magnolias, cream on cream in the breathless hours of raven midnight. So caught up in fragrant, dreamy delight in beauty fraught, satin, platinum beams. Darkness can be so much more than it seems bringing beauteous, hidden truths to light, Moonlight on magnolias. In dusky shadows, fantasies take flight in the hours of springtime's deep green regime. Then stars twinkle, and pearl moon is agleam, and in raisin darkness, pure white on white- Moonlight on magnolias. Written on 10/23/2022 For: Rousing Rondine Poetry Contest Sponsor: Jeff Kyser

Thank goodness that most places, even deserts, have some types of flowers. Flowers are hardier than they look. Thank you for the nice compliment. :)
