Touch Me - Dusk

Touch Me – Dusk
Original Poem written for the contest:
“Touch Me Up and Down”    ¤¤ Placed 4th ¤¤
Samual Ronthorpe






Dawn,
hugging,
Our Planet.
The sun gives life,
Squeezing her children,
Providing us with food,
And regulating our mood.
Occasionally, she will rest,
And allow Dusk to grip the land, Night.
Dawn and Dusk share in natures’ epic dance.

This dance of the titans flows flawlessly,
Dawn releases her grip at twilight,
And allows Dusk to take the lead,
Dusk teases the Night, “Join Me”,
Night spins Dusk, all alone,
Night brushes time by,
Looking for Dawn,
Holding hands,
Letting,
go.

wow, it could complement the one you did on sun and moon! I am glad I came way down here to find this one that I never read before. I have several that use personification on dawn, dusk, moon, and sun. I think I told you that already. I love that kind of writing when I see it!!

I sure enjoyed the personification you have here of Dusk and Dawn, Samual! I like that thought of Dawn "hugging" the planet :) Super congrats on your win :D
