Twilight Descends

indigo sky
now tells my soul
goodbye the day

stars twinkle bright
as twilight falls
the night creeps in

twilight descends
as night lends voice
it mends my soul

Nice pictoral well painted neat style. I enjoyed the picture that it painted. My favorite time of day in about 5:30 - 6:00 in the AM while most of the world is still asleep. I love to watch and listen to it wake up. Warm Huggs TLee

I'm not usually in love with short poems but this was great. You can totally pull it off.

this is a very well done than-bauk. They are NOT easy to do. I think mine took nearly 2 hours and I kept falling asleep doing it!! (still didn't post it yet) I hope this scores high in the contest!
