Gina,
Terrific pairing of verse and artwork for your contest entry.
The Nile certainly evokes an ancient image.
Small editorial suggestion - replace your period after the middle line with a dash or squiggle. It sets off your contrast - IMHO it feels better that way.

Yes and 'timelessness' is effectively conveyed here in this short poetic format, with color and majesty- excellent choice of verb'spills' - thanks for sharing this moment in time.

You set the scene beautifully here and it's all the more meaningful because I know you were there. The history of Egypt is ancient and the Nile River's waters are timeless.
Best wishes in the contest!

I agree - it is timeless - thinking back to Old Testament stories. It's a magnificent photo and amazing to think about the people whose eyes have observed this very scene. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

This is a lovely entry for the 20 syllable poem contest. You use strong words in your poem, like, "indigo night," and "moonlight spills." That leaves a clear picture in the reader's mind, and the accompanying visual is also beautiful.
