Notes About The Poem

SEVEN BY SEVEN Poetry Contest

Sponsor: Nette Onclaud

Shroud of Dusk

Pale and thin, a tattered ghost, moves under a velvet shroud. Died upon the jagged coast; lost within a graphite cloud. Streaks onto paper as rust; the sharp edges start to tear. Drowning in the lonely dusk.
