A
Whispered Hush
By
Ken Allan Dronsfield and Blanca Alicia Garza
Lavender
hues with reds and blues;
Secrets coveted by a whispered hush.
She sneaks away now, given the cue;
The sky exploding in a flurried rush.
Secrets coveted by a whispered hush.
She sneaks away now, given the cue;
The sky exploding in a flurried rush.
For
the sun keeps her secrets
tucked away within the night.
But the twilight holds her promise...
until the breaking dawn's first light.
tucked away within the night.
But the twilight holds her promise...
until the breaking dawn's first light.
And
now the Moon rises above
illuminating the early evening sky
a shooting star catches my gaze
my heart beats on, a silent sigh.
illuminating the early evening sky
a shooting star catches my gaze
my heart beats on, a silent sigh.
I'll
always cherish the memories
of the beauty found just before dusk.
Singing a sunset faerie serenade,
gently revealing the Whispered Hush.
Singing a sunset faerie serenade,
gently revealing the Whispered Hush.
How lovely!

Thank you Ken and Blanca, What a beautiful poem! I felt the same peace I used to feel, in reminiscences of the beautiful sunsets I often viewed when I lived in Arizona. Thank you for sharing your talents.

Thank you Ken and Blanca--
ReplyDeleteI especially like the internal rhyme in line one and the use of cue, hue, blue peppered through stanza 1. Twilight in morning or evening--my favorite time of day.
Thank you very much Michael!
DeleteKen and Blanca
A beautiful collaboration, thank you for your efforts and illusion created by words. My favorite line is 'Singing a sunset faerie serenade' that is magical.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Annie, we're so happy you enjoyed the 'magic'!

Ken & Blanca, this is a gorgeous poem. I love the faerie serenade! Twilight is one of my favorite times, especially sunset (I'm not always up for sunrise ;-) especially in the summer). I would love to have you read my blog about postcard poetry exchange for April, and consider joining. http://www.lenorarainleegood.com/#!April-is-National-Poetry-Month/c1q8z/56c64ae40cf2de8a478fd71e.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Isha, for the following--
ReplyDeleteThis lovely poem reads like a fairy tale.
It's like a snapshot within a moment or two of the moving scenario, ever changing wonders of nature.
Yours sincerely,
Isha Wagner
I really like this whispered hush! Somewhere in our rush of quotidian being, we've forgotten to keep an ear out for the whispers.
