Slanted Coast

Shine on your moon light matrix maze
The mist of morning sought then raised

Your cloak of twilight
Its hem has frayed

As sunset sings
beneath the waves

Alliteration...

...And you use it well here. Do you want moonlight to be two words? I read it differently the second time, as moonlight. This is a great image of the sun setting. I can hear the sunset as it sinks into the ocean. I miss the sunsets. I could always imagine the sun hissing as it hit the horizon. But now I will imagine it singing instead. Yes, much better. Nice poem. Thanks, Lisa

Slanted Coast is a perfect title.

I like short poems - especially when they deliver a sharp burst of well-contained imagery as this one does. Thanks, Lisa
