As she lifts the veil
Awakening morning’s light
Freedom is given
Her flocks fly hurriedly by
Before darkness reigns again

She juggled her life
Made it fit into the day
Until, she ran out
Felled by wasted distractions
She squandered her existence

I remember that day
The one where the sky sang
In shades of pink and blue
That day when clouds caressed
The setting sun, bathed
In a blanketed grace
When the world seemed so light
*
I remember that day
The one where the colors rang
In a glorious, pastel hue
That day when the sky was blessed
With a palette, and it painted
On a blank canvas in space
And the world seemed so right

Midnight
Darkest hour
No light
Day gone
Fades into black
Moves on
Moon shows
Chases the gloom
And glows
Author’s Note: The Musette, created by Emily Romano is a poem that consists of three verses of three lines each. The first lines have two syllables; the second lines have four syllables, and the third lines have two syllables. The rhyme scheme is a/b/a for the first verse; c/d/c for the second verse, and e/f/e for the third verse. The title should reflect the poem’s content.

Twilight reaches for the night
When darkening clouds invade
Covering the last of sun
With thick and dusky shade
Disguised within a blackening sky
Luminous shadows emerge
Eventide, sunset’s light
When day and night converge
