Sotto Poet Poet Free verse

Violet

Written: June 15, 2026, for a contest sponsored by Brian Strand

                             ****************


Violet bleeds beyond mere shade
spilling a bruise in velveteen light
a dusk softens into tender praise
while stars bloom across a dark sky
Rhythm whispers night to sleep
a blaze in dawn's pansy sweep.
