Sandra Adams Poet Sapphic stanza

On the Horizon

Sunset painting velvety sky at nighttide
tones of red clouds shimmering above mountains
trace the downward spiral of wafting sunset 
replaced with darkness

Jack Jordan September 27, 2013 at 8:48 PM Very beautiful writing. I'm somewhat familiar with Sappho. I enjoyed the fragmented yet related nature of the writing. You've captured the essence of her poetry... Jack Jack Jordan September 27, 2013 at 8:49 PM I didn't realize your poem was a winner until I read PD's comment below. Congratulations... Jack

Matthew Anish September 24, 2013 at 9:42 PM You make it sound like there is a cosmic painter out there painting gorgeous scenes of nature. Stimulating work here! Peace & Love Matthew Anish Sandra Adams September 27, 2013 at 6:33 PM thank you...perhaps its all the painted sunrises I have been seeing :)

Andrea Dietrich September 24, 2013 at 4:26 PM I forgot how the last line should be done. But it looks like you got the first ones metered correctly. I found this type of stanza very challenging! Yours is beautiful. Sandra Adams September 24, 2013 at 4:55 PM Thanks Andrea...i thought it to be a real challenge too and had several different definitions of the form as well as several sample poems open as i wrote it and it still took me weeks to finish it..
