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 Date: 9/27/2013 8:48:00 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 Login to Reply Jack Jordan Date: 9/27/2013 8:49:00 PM I didn't realize your poem was a winner until I read PD's comment below. Congratulations...

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/24/2013 4:26:00 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. Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 9/24/2013 4:55:00 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..
