Needing a Weekend's Rest

The city-square glints wondrously its dome of velvet, glass, and bulbs Ignites through picture window frames; axiomatic the marquee … where dwellers prance along the lanes each one bestowing gentle nods in altruistic reverence; like gentle keepers of the night beneath a moonlit canopy: While huddled in a show's debut, they all absorb romantic whims on one Friday needing mild rest… that onstage life grants fantasy to claim man’s asseveration. Triple A Challenge—14 Lines Contest of Robert Haigh Posted 4/14/2018

I love the tone of your poem, nette. I particularly love these lines "each one bestowing gentle nods in altruistic reverence; like gentle keepers of the night beneath a moonlit canopy". Congrats on your well deserved bronze medal.

This is a beautiful poem comprising 8 syllabled lines and lovely imagery, Nette. The poem speaks for itself, and needs no further supportive evidence:) Hugs // paul
