    Dusk


    nestled among backdropped rays
    sun of autumn downed last count of day
    heat still mettled breath with rise and fall of life
    pushed out
    sucked in
    step on step
    pathways passed in yesteryears appeared
    with hopeful hum hearts leapt in prayer

    we lingered there

    farther on where night wept ink
    we did not stop to think or even pause
    we knew the way to where we’d started

    Wonderful musicality and evocation of mood in this, Rhymist, with zestacious phrases: mettled breath, night wept ink ... and weaving of devices.

      Thank you Grant. I was working on my "showing not telling" skills. I tried to just be in the moment instead of write about it. Does that make sense?

      Yes, it makes sense; your 'in the moment' moments have paid off.

    What is the shape that this poem forms? Looks like the letter I! Great work once again!

      Well, I'd have to agree micworthy9509 - though it wasn't intentionally done. I just used the centering format function because I didn't want it right justified and that's how it came out! Thank you for checking it out and leaving a comment.

    RLW, Oh Boy, did you nail the topic here! Lovely write. I like your comment re "showing not telling skills" and I see that Grant has already snatched my favourite phrases.
