I walk down the nostalgic boulevard of memories.
As fading sunlight lingers across the horizon,
vintage sepia toned to vivid vibrancy,
my repertoire of reminisces,
paints a mélange of emotions.
Portrays an abstract of my life gone by
before waning under the dusky veil.
Quadrille #136 (44 words)
Written for dVerse. Today’s host Linda says: The word today is Linger or any form thereof.
The warm breeze carries moist salinity of the endless sea,
the hues of the receding sun begins its final dance across the horizon,
choreographing each movement with graceful swirls.
As dusk ambles across the skyline with a sublime gait
leaving a trail of scarlet dreams,
I sit by the shore watching this celestial spectacle unfold.
Just as the broody clouds pale against its luminous crimson glow
my stress from the chaotic day releases,
bringing an untold sense of calm to my weary mind.
Sadje’s WDYS #99
Sadje’s WDYS # 59. What does this picture inspire you to write?
The day ebbs across the vistas
dusk descends in hushed tones
wistful whispers echo into the
somber stillness of the horizon,
tussled thoughts fight for freedom.
Inhaling burning despondent puffs
blowing smoky tendrils of melancholy
in pursuit of that elusive muse
crumbled papers, tainted with failed words,
carpet the floor, with insipid fragments of litter.
The eyes glimpse home bound birds, flap balletic wings
flutter across the grace of silhouetted branches
the beaming orb illuminates the nimbus
awakens the slumbering quill from silence
inks the papyrus with poetic colors.
Embryonic rays
dawn exalts a coral blush
horizon aflame
mercury soars high
punctures the billowy clouds
casts a scorching gaze
the western skyline
brims with wisps of lavender
aesthetic adieu.
In response to Eugenia’s weekly prompt: Sapphire
Home bound avian’s greet the eventide
before settling in their branched abode
sun gives a parting embrace to the sapphire horizon
painting hues of lavender swirls
the silhouettes amidst the ebony skyline
welcome the glitterati of stars
the shadows merge into the emerging monochrome
before the velvety darkness envelopes all.
