Notes About The Poem

Written 11 April 2026 for Seven by Seven Poetry Contest of Nette Onmclaud

Syllable count checked on Poetry Soup Syllable Counter 

Shroud of Dusk

Shroud of Dusk

The golden sun fades away
As fierce orange carves its way,
Soon purple light starts to bloom
For violets to make room,
Trees are now ghosts of the grey
As shroud of dusk spreads its sway
Heralding end of the day.
