This is actually a poem written in a form created years ago by someone in an old poetry goup of mine. He called it Chase-link form and I cannot recall his name; also, I can find no examples of it online except for mine. I have never posted it anywhere before today. I will just call it Rhyme.

At the edge of day and night,
a silent joy reigns between
thoughts in unison.

Ocean’s field shimmers blue-green
beneath a sky, tangerine.

Our sailboat’s hue is mirrored
on the sea, incarnadine
cast by light of sun.

Skin against tanned skin, we lean -
our eyes on our horizon

Wow! Andrea, every line is just so damn poetic. A luscious write of two people in love sharing the same view of their future. The imagery is gorgeous, especially your last two lines, great emotion. Best wishes for a win! ~Susan

I did not keep the rules of the form. I only had it in my notebook referred to as chase-link form. I can see the pattern of it and it's quite unusual!
