Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Sol Squints

Sol squints as His ruby-red eye
peaks over the edge of the Earth.
And as scarlet inks a pink sky,
day dims, awaiting Dawn's rebirth.

Shades of charcoal dappled on blue;
merge in the creases of the night.
And a lone owl bids Sol adieu;
silhouetted by day's last light.

Chameleon clouds change colors,
gathering high above the ground.
And as the far horizon bleeds,
darkness descends without a sound.

Shadows flow like rivers of black
over a landscape, bleak and stark.
And daylight slips into a crack;
as twilight succumbs to Dusk's dark.
