Electric Aurora
Neon ribbons flame across an onyx midnight
When electric flares and fires flash in jewel tones
Pale crystal snows reflect Aurora’s gossamer gown.
Swirling arcs decorate the hemline of her gown
As solar sequins flash across the midnight
And currents of her ruby fire play in arctic tones.
Arctic sprite pulses in bursting topaz solar tones
Queen of astral mischief wears an emerald gown
Sneaking out to play in the sapphire midnight.
In gowns of emerald, playful minx winks at midnight in turquoise tones.
The greeness of grasses
is from dew and rain
Apollo waters fall
and sanguine sun shines at dawn
Timid stems are now firm
with fat vessels anchored in earth
Magnificent
Sprouts are breaking forest floors
born out of winter-lock
Men have no part in it,
life paints the art with no mortal hand
we watch and ponder to admit, candid
Aurora spring
life Is in the dark amidst light
The hidden that slept now sprint
hauled colors assemble on this Soil
The night sky is groomed
flowers are fully bloomed
tonight sorrow Seldom gloomed
natures light show
aurora borealis
mesmerizing us
Sun winds collide
With Earth's magnetic field
Iridescent phenomenon
In celestial skies
The aurora
Borealis
Dazzles in hued roulette --
Tinsels gushing in full glory
Then, like cosmic whirlind
...She fades gently
Aurora rides
in golden chariot
coming down to the sleepy world.
the music of her tread~
a wake up call.
glowing brighter
softer neon-like ribbons
painting the cold dark midnight sky
cosmic winds are dancing
plié or waltz
cold aurora
I stand beneath silence
it moves without knowing my name
its burning absence there
like desertion
a ray intrudes
like a piercing needle
through the stretched blue denim fabric
With a fancy thread work
a new dawn launched
Place: 3 rd
She, Aurora;
my dawn’s awakening
I shadow in her radiance;
everlasting will, past
her light burns out.
Goddess of dawn
seeker of attention
you draw all eyes upon night sky
beauty of Northern lights
leaves us in all
Night descends slowly in all its glory.
Colours lighting up the sky.
Entranced... two of us appraise the performance.
AP: Honorable Mention 2026
Cool misty drops
fall from the mountain peaks,
washing the vibrant forest green.
As the dawn often speaks:
Life’s quiet starts.
Aurora will
dance with me in the dark
of a clear night sky, a twirling
iridescent beauty
destined to leave.
Ordinary people in an extraordinary aurora borealis
What is creativity?
A fanciful hue between renunciation and repudiation that never
fully control whence she recited in your mind ,
fair daffodil you haste away so soon!
Transitory! Seemingly so!
I fancied otherwise! Thoughtfully so!
A Rustam Hudaygulyv
Who could be a pen pal
He does not need to be one!
I was a pen pal, and there is also creativity!
As the ordinary light casts a hue on the brazen clue
In the land of the never
Still extra ordinary lives are also there, simple and soliloquy
A simple humble key to your imagination.
Humbling too!
