Twilight

I wrote this poem as a Junior in high school (1985) when we were told the freewrite about "Nature"

Twilight

 

 

Shattered sunbeams, smashed

to brilliant splinters of the blinding solar light,

Dying, flickering tongues of fire

slash the landscape burning bright .

 

The day's last breath exhaled in dark blue slivers,

dancing shadows, haunting, ashen figurines of light...

Douse the flames with darkened splendor,

Dies the day and rises night.

 

The Warrior Poet

1985

[Coyote Poetry]

A strong description of the day falling into night. I like the when the sun is falling and allowing the night to take over. Like the world is trying to find peace. Powerful words create a excellent poem.
