From Darkle to Sparkle

Stormy sky becomes less darkle
autumn sunlight sparkles

walking amongst golden trees
palpable tension in the air eases

leaves crunching under her feet
feeling mother earth's heartbeat

there's an aura of magical splendor
into the limbs of nature she surrenders

embracing falls sparkling light

  1. Truedessa I love the darkle-sparkle rhyme. Also like the idea of surrending to nature.

  4. I love the rhyme in the first couplet. It’s so much fun. Fooling around with how words are constructed is exactly what we need to be doing as poets.

  5. I enjoyed the wordplay and rhymes in your quadrille, Truedessa, the use of darkness and light, and the sound in the couplet:
    ‘leaves crunching under her feet
    feeling mother earth's heartbeat’.

  6. Love it especially "there's an aura of magical splendor
    into the limbs of nature she surrenders"
