Shine out, bright pillar!
Neither fuel nor flame,
but radiance natural
beams from your heart
to salute the night
with unflagging light!

Form: Vertical Monocrostic
She floats into a room and voices hush,
the silence at effulgence in her bloom,
as crimson rises to her cheeks in blush
to humble scarlet gardens and their plume.
