Purpureus Realm
Embraced by Purpurite Reveries
Every night at midnight
The purple clouds came out
To dance with the blushing sky
~~~~~
Beneath the periwinkle clouds
Dolphins flew majestically
Synchronised aerobatics
~~~~~
Marionettes being pulled
Though the lavender haze
Starfishes twirled skyward
~~~~~
Seahorses gravitised by the moon
Formed a vertical magenta chain
Hooking tails to snouts
~~~~~
Nymphs swirled up the chain
Raced to touch the moon
Left a glittery trail of lilac glow
~~~~~
The moon turned burgundy
Smiled and sparkled jubilantly
Sashayed emitting lightnings
~~~~~
Amethyst ripples on the surface
The sky dropped its diamonds
Waves celebrated the reunion

Stuck in Place
Amy whistled as she walked through her front yard, looking for any sticks she could pick up and throw into the pile she and her brother were making. They had a big windstorm recently; as such, all the trees in their yard had suffered some damage in some loss of sticks. Or perhaps losing those sticks was a good thing since their trees probably needed to be pruned anyway. Amy wasn't sure.

This was brillant. I loved it! The imagery was so rich so gorgeous! Thank you!
You written so many amazing stories! This one was beautiful!
So introspective
I like the vivid imagery, and the gentle, fantastical tone of nature here. Really nice!
A wonderful and whimsical piece, my friend : )
It is enjoyable to read and your imagery is excellent.
Your imagery is still just as tantalizing as the first time I read this, I am constantly in awe of your talent!! You honestly should do a book of short stories or poetry or one of each! 💖
Your vivid imagery showcased by your incomparable descriptive language of this poem just shines through to breath-takingly! I love the whimsical feel of it and yet it has such a realistic feel as the images you painted dance in the forefront of my mind! Still as beautiful as I remember it being the first time!
The color imagery was so stunning
Your imagery is so beautiful and pulls the reader from one scene and verse to the next. Loved it!
Dear Dhar - You had me at "Purpureus" - put that into your translator and see what it comes up with? - *Miss you, are you taking a finger-stretching break from all of your type-tapping - Whew, who could blame you? J-Bud
Now how did I miss this piece. Beautifully written as always and I love a purple sky 💕💕
I loved every line of this, including, "Marionettes being pulled/Though the lavender haze/Starfishes twirled skyward" I am in awe. Thank you! 💜
Dreamy, twilight sky and processional of sealife, thanks.
Gorgeous imagery! I feel totally bathed in colour and magic 😁
What a beautiful poem! I love the format and cadence! Keep on writing!
enjoyable to read and your imagery is excellent.
This was really beautiful Dharrsheena! I love your use of descriptive language that creates vivid imagery and how it tells such a magical story! I also love your use of personification to create an elegant form of movement for each creature, that feels so realistic but yet so imaginative! This was simply breath taking, I am in awe of your skill with words! 💜
Very magical, luv the words
Loved that! And really enjoyed the visuals and the use of color in this. So visual!

Such a lovely world created in this poem with such vivid imagery. ♥️
That was a very interesting poem. I like the almost childish tone of it.
