Notes About The Poem

Wilderness of Want Poetry Contest. Sponsored by: Ink Empress ~~ I did all the prompts.

Wilderness Of Want. What Do You Want?

"Wake within the Rose Wilderness," with the sky of pinks as this day closes. "I beseech the sun to undress the stars," as the moon comes over the crest. "If I am your refrain, let my name burn," in the morning light as the sun climbs out of bed. "Tortured by the taste of Touch," today will the hot sun burn me once more? "What is a ripple without its rhythm?" Like the daily sun without the nightly moon.
