nicely done and captures the mood very well. I like the image of the pier at sunset. the word serene nicely captures the mood of the poem in 8 words how to do but you nailed it

What a lovely poem! The idea of a "flame gilded pier" is perfect. I like how you also included "still night." Together that goes so well. I appreciate how you've captured such a wonderful moment with just a few words.

These short pieces are notoriously tricky

Correct form and count. I think you have a perfect theme for the contest. This is just the type of poetry the secret FanStory voters prefer. Well done.

You did a great job within this incredibly small format to set a mood: still, serene. With the gilded pier the idea of a sunset being involved even came through, though not mentioned...very well done!

Not a word wasted here in this short format of the 2/4/2 and the poem paints a quiet, colorful night scene 'gilded pier' all adding up to a distinct sense of serenity.
