written for acrostic sonnet contests sponsored by Andrea Dietrich.

Soaked in sapphire tears of forlorn flowers, emanating hues of cinnamon light. Perhaps, the healing herbs of harvest hours; tender tendrils and the soft rose twilight~ evoke splitting truth through veiled, somber beams. My love, this ink still curates magic's glow~ beneath the blazing stems of dahlia dreams, engrossed in apricot embers that flow, rippling with runes of russet memories. Follow me to Persephone's verdant field, as the moon twirls within brown reveries, laced in pomegranate promises sealed, lost in the grape green orchard of Hades' glance, still breathing lilacs in a lustrous trance.

Too many beautiful phrases to point out but I sure loved the reference to Persephone and to gorgous lilacs that i love. Congrats on first place.

September and the beginning of fall are evident in this acrostic. I enjoy the sense of lingering romance.

Well done, dear Inky! Every line overflows with an abundance of September, a rainbow dripping hues onto fields, forest, harvests. Love your use of color, always, and your line "follow me to Persephone's verdant field" really caught my eye as this verse recalls beauty when Persephone returns to the underworld each year carrying the scent of lilacs to remember in the darkness until she holds them again in spring. Wonderfully crafted, dear friend. Best wishes for the contest. Sweet blessings!

Great use of September Falls and it cant be easy to do an acrostic that is a sonnet... In each line the word play is of a very high standard with terms like, "orchard of Hades' glance" and "hues of cinnamon light," I like the light alliteration of forlorn flowers... would be nice to see those sapphire tears, as some tears are too precious to fall.. I like how you have turned the theme that is directed to nature into a personal and emotive one.. Best of luck in the contest dear poet.. God bless

Your ability to use alliteration is always mystifying. This is a powerful and emotive sonnet. Rippling with runes of russet memories—how evocative that is. Brilliant.

This is very good Ink. I like the Hades/Persephone references. Winter will soon be upon us and in the lore Persephone will be able to return to the Underworld with her love Hades. "beneath the blazing stems of dahlia dreams" is one of my favorite lines.
