Twilight crimson in motifs gold
Paints eve’s horizon ruby bold
Where autumnal dreams unfold
As saffron vistas waltz to please
Amethyst winds quiver in breeze
Falling leaves of gamboge trees
Stars up high, for attention vie
Glinting prairies in russet dye
While doting moon peeks from sky
Till sunrise blossoms shortened days
Glistening smile of autumn's blaze
Blushed in kiss of zealous rays

Syllables: 8,8,7 per stanza
Eventide’s splendorous motifs on blazing arc rise
Tinting golden horizon of glinting vermillion skies
Where setting sun inflames decaying gilded rays
As twilight glistens graying eve’s yellowing haze
And pewter winds rustle leaves, lilting meadows
Swaying hills of trees in rhythms of tilting shadows
Where bidding the day goodbye birds hastily fly
While enchanted in luminant sky people amble by
Reveling ebullience of nightfall glowing in moonlight
Dazzled by twinkles of stars lifting tenor of night
As nightingale’s love song enthralls nocturnal appeal
When orchestra plays above scintillating astral zeal
Quietude soon endows dreams of exuberant dawn
As the reign of moon and stars sparkles on and on
Till misty morn awakens to melodies of robin’s call
And sun rises again to walk the new day to nightfall

Placed 2nd: Collaboration with Silent One Poetry Contest
The entrancing note that soothes the soul,
Brings inner chaos under control,
Like a bell upon summer dawn tolls,
And lifts the weight of daily chores.
The beginning of a fragrant whiff,
Began when roses were still in bud,
Now grown dispenses their springtime gift,
Lovely bouquet for one’s beloved.
The rustling of leaves in restless play,
Babes-in-buds when the springtide was new,
Now dance an elaborate ballet,
Biding autumn its timely adieu.
The freezing embrace of winter’s norm,
Stripping the trees of lovely foliage,
Bringing in the bite of winter storm,
While life shelters from its deadly rage.

Glorious hues arise from halo of morning sky
As dreamy eyes take me on a wondrous ride
Where cottony clouds scatter layers of purple
Adorning with shades of heliotrope flowers.
On my ride I visualize a celestial place on earth
Hearing fairy tales from fabled views unfolding,
And I ask my yawning bushes to vacate at once
So I can plant my lilac garden in sunrise colors.
Mesmerized by purple cues in orchid motifs
My day traversed gaily in enchanting overtones,
When clouds spewing gray darkened my show
Blocking twilight from glistening reddish glow.
Having lost sunrise, I hang on to sinking sunset
Assured by its scenic prowess I build my place
Near the lone lamp on street that is yet to be lit
Yearning for vistas of my daydream to repeat.
My place now occupies best of both worlds
Rising with mornings and setting with evenings,
Mimicking splendid hues of evocative contexts
Adoring fervent daybreaks and dreamy sunsets.

Inhale
the last you will
of this planet’s wholesome gift
blowing out grey cells
and bits of a life
..distance..
until a stranger
with two
puffed eyes
and clouded vision
----------------------------------------
On the ill-effects of smoking
Smok’n hot in his black suit,
a cool dude - he’s not.
Sickle swings shattering glass -
silencing bitter sand.
Your ignominious ghost
broods your grim image,
under the reaper’s hood.
