This is a fine cinquain. The inclusion of internal rhyme in the longest (8 syllable) line is an excellent device creating a symmetry of rhythm around the third line. An intelligent use of the poetic device of rhyme in an otherwise unrhymed piece.

Hello my friend. I am thrilled that you liked this verse. A CinQuain can be challenging... and this one certainly was... I revised 4 times ~ after I posted it... LOL. Thanks so much, Jim.

Your cinquain is excellent in every respect--skillfully and creatively written and vividly descriptive of a lovely scene, an appealing time of day. The artwork is the perfect enhancement.

This is a perfect example of message and picture matching up. There is great beauty in both the message in the words and the colors of the twilight sky. I truly enjoyed encountering your lovely cinquain. :-)

Comment from Seshadri_Sreenivasan
Beautifully worded poem. Romantic indeed. Is there anything more peaceful than taking in the quiet beauty of the twilight? The accompanying picture is awesome! One can see the sun descending below the horizon, creating romantic shades of red and orange and purple across the sky. Good luck!

Comment from lyenochka
I like the feeling of the gloaming and the gentle consonance in your poem. It is covers the subtle change of different "tints" of the "waning light." I wondered if you intended to use words with "light" in the middle three lines: twilight, light, starlight. It certainly shows progression of different lights but it could feel redundant. Best wishes in the contest!

Hi Helen. I edited it and rearranged a few things. Thanks so much!

Oh I love your edits! You brought out your poetic paintbrush with "Soft, lilac hues" - Great job!

Thank you for helping me to see the repetitiousness in the word "light". I had not noticed it. Hugs, my friend.

I can relate because when we write, we focus on getting the message/meaning out. It takes other people's eyes to see the details. 💖
