Kim Rodrigues Poet Sonnet

O Twilight Brisk

A brash bright sun of lily snow,     a ray
of rainbow charm! His shadow form would pass —
gray moon with soulful past, waist bows to pray.
No luck — this chump — lays dandy cloak for lass.

Both braids to climb, not charming work — aghast!
Sun’s light sans coal, moon wants to grab a spark.
Though much afraid — a mighty storm, witch cast.
Bold clouds doth soar, but moon withstands the dark.

With victory in mind, a worthy goal,
to link two lights, to wan and wax, to fly.
Thus hand in hand, slight touch of mirth; a stroll.
O twilight brisk, too quick  — conjoins soft sighs.

Ah! Joyful bond of sun and moon; said blood
doth count — a blushing sky so pink its bud.
