Blossoming night

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Rhymed
In the bosom of the night
Therein shon so very bright
a thought to broaden found insight
That which could make the righteous right
And bring the impoverished from their plight;
Draw light's angels to the might
To witness the scales bend tonight
With endless motion taking flight
To be lost from the hold that grips too tight
Never to feel again the fight
A nurtured soul fading high into the light

    Wow! This poem is such a beautiful and inspiring piece that has left me feeling uplifted and motivated. The use of vivid imagery and powerful language is simply amazing. I love how the poem highlights the possibility of positive change and hope for the less fortunate. It's truly amazing how the poet has managed to combine so many different emotions and themes into a harmonious whole. The overall message of the poem is one that I think we can all relate to and aspire to achieve. Great job!

    Sorry but this one has a tiresome one rhyme feature, line after line. I must be true to my gut here Heather. I know that there was honest effort in finding the one sound throughout. Not easy…Wayne Blair.
