The Hushing Hour

Hopeful thoughts kiss a silhouette goodnight,
ending a somber sunset with a lightening bug choir.

- I like the tone to begin with and how it implies that after a really dark day there is now a sense of hope in the night and some brighter thoughts.

Hoaxes and heroines mystify daydreamers
Illusions of what's to come in an early dawn.

- this bit confused me a little, I think ou mean daydreamer's ? and illusions without a capital? As to meand the illusions that the daydreamers have? And this shows what they are thinking will be in the morning?

Holding onto security of hushing elegance,
snuggled in warm thoughts,
wrapped in a nightgown,
slumber becomes another holiday.

- i think on to should be two separate words since it is not a position but more of an idea of grasping something. I really liked the comforting tone here and the relaxation that for this one monent everything can seem okay again and optimistic.

Dreamers fly away into the decadence
of the sun's sleepy melody.

- really really like this ending and the idea of the sun having a melody which is like a lullabye. Very sweet.

Lovely poem Maple. xx

Oh Andrea, I love this. I want to comment further, but I can't. It's beautiful, its soothing and like Chels said, it has a romantic tone to it as well.

Lightening bug choir was just....sigh*.....

its all about your wording that makes you the Queen of nature poetry. You come up with such creative wording I get so excited when you post new nature pieces because I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

This is stunning honestly, and it gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Like the slightest bit of romance..either it is in this piece, or it sets the tone for lovers.
