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. 7/23/2020 Lipogram Poem Poetry Contest Sponsor: Emile Pinet Checked with howmanysyllables.com

Sometimes that magical time of twilight just vanishes to quickly. The sun, the moon, all join in. Beautifully written.

It's like Shakespeare arose from the dead and wrote this sonnet! I thoroughly enjoyed the meter, syntax, imagery and all the wonder of this lively poem!
