The Magic Hour

Dawn's Stillness Invites me Vermillion hills Clouds' engulfing tangerine stillness crests Tension sloughs, blows away like old snakeskin Desert rain scent Cleansing me Pedal Flow Smile Conceals Morning’s ride Heart's treasure trove Work’s gray walls can't touch my bright turquoise glow 7/18/16 © by Author Contest: Triple Tetractys 2 Sponsor: Eve Roper Syllable count confirmed at howmanysyllables.com

gosh, I was counting the syllables to see why you could possibly have placed lower than third place. But all looks fine technically. this is one of the more mature ones in the presentation of your message of beautiful joy.
