Rite of Passage

Dusty pink taffeta sky
lays in folds against
a blue-grey background
of twilight
The raft of northern ducks
silhouetted and bobbing
on a pewter lake mirroring
the last of the day’s offering
A rising moon chases the sun
from view as darkness descends
Sounds fall silent when the day 
gives way to night and 
and the handover is complete

Grace is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight
and has prompted us with personification
and/or imagery.  I chose imagery for
my poem.

  13. I am embarrassed to admit that I did not know what “taffeta” is… thank you for teaching me!

    Your poem held me from start to finish. Lovely, Christine!

    Shabbat shalom,

    1. Thank you. I was actually looking at my sky that night when the words came but didn’t get the best photo. I was fortunate to find one that was close ☺️
