Evening is on the take
The sun herself senses it
Her heat is slipping away
Eclipsed by cold, arctic tendrils
Rilling through the fragile geography
Earth is a strong fighter though
Able to restore itself in serene defiance
Light she brings to keep night in its place
Written for the challenge to write an acrostic poem to the word Ethereal, using the word serene somewhere in the poem by Mrs. Timetable.

(The New Room: March, 2025)
Your verdant eyes are looking away,
They seek for eternal peace somewhere
And I ask every night if I may..
Come closer to you and show my care.

In the light of innocent sun rays
I look in your eyes, where I lost myself,
I look into forest, where my love lays,
But I hide feelings in the deepest shelf.
Give me your heart
And I’ll give you mine
Give me your heart
And I can see
Give me your heart
And it will be me
I've never written a limerick.
Thinking of it makes me sick.
Better a sonnet
or a woman upon it.
Maybe, I'll just play with my ****.
lol.  Just having fun.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICWIGqf62Kw
