Twilight.

by Courageous Dreamer   Aug 16, 2009


Lemon drop rays
smile upon cerulean
creased waters;
it's rainbow-like
reflection--
bestowed.

Beauty sprinkles
from it's saffron
silhouette--as it
descends behind
sponge trees of
jade green.

A pearl moon
awakens with a
yawn; it's scarlet
moonlight wrapped
around two lovers
nestled upon
khaki sands.

    Oo, that's cute. I like how you sort of did your own contest. Not all the colors, but still. :]

    I liked the imagery in it and the creative way the imagery was shown. It wasn't just, hey this is yellow...or hey this is the moon. It was a beautiful metaphor for everything.

    Great job, as usual. 5/5

    Gorgeous imagery here. Nice way to grab the reader's attention at the start.

    I love your word choice with the colors. I don't think you need to say green here though because jade is green.

    What a nice feeling you are left with at the end. I like how you describe the moon as pearl. It really has picture painting imagery.

    I don't care for the structure of fragmented thoughts. The end of the line makes the reader naturally pause so that makes it have to many breaks here.

    None-the-less, you did a nice job!

    *Wow this is a beautiful image!! I've never used cerulean before. I'm really glad you used it here. It's so refreshing to see a new word used in such a good way*

    it's rainbow-like
    reflection--
    bestowed.

    *Something about this part seems unfinished...I don't like how you used bestowed here...Maybe it's just me. I might change that to "It's rainbow like reflection bestowed upon my face or something like that*

    *Yay!!! another great word, saffron is such a pretty word to me lol I love how great you are writing this. It's really well worded and so full of great images*

    descends behind
    sponge trees of
    jade green.

    *Beautiful ^.^*

    A pearl moon
    awakens with a
    yawn; it's scarlet

    *I would chnage the third line to " a soft yawn" I would describe the yawn to add more emphasis to it. Other than that great imagery again. I like how each stanza is just as great as the one before it.*

    moonlight wrapped
    around two lovers
    nestled upon
    khaki sands.

    *Awww what a sweet ending. I really enjoyed this piece hun. You always amaze me with your writing ^.^ Keep em coming sweetie. Nik*
