John Lawless Poet Rhyme

Sunset

Long shadows calm the ripples, sooth the edge
As sunrise bows its head, completes its pledge
In orange flash of daylight’s passing spark
Full blush for lover’s need of passion’s dark.
.
Bullfrogs will croak and dragonflies alight
As you reframe the embers of the night
We will return again as moment’s must
For memories are but the lies we trust.

Brian Sambourne September 26, 2023 at 9:42 AM A truly exceptional poem, John. The personification of sunset with a bowed head is top notch. As noted, your concluding line rings truth like a loud school Bell. Congratulations!

Gershon Wolf September 9, 2023 at 8:08 PM Whoa! That last line packs a punch -- more powerful than Xi's hypersonic weapon. Awesome write, John. Kudos, Gershon
