Cement Prophets



The crawling sun announces
A morning tender
Rusty scars blend with orange(ish) dawn streaks
But
Cement prophets proclaim torments scream
Black clouds close like stage curtains quickly
Tender moments swept away in Act I
Love notes lost
Memories walk west and disappear

Henry, the opening, "The crawling sun announces/a morning tender," sets up the action perfectly. Loved you use of the prompt! Amy

Lots of interesting word combinations here. I especially like "crawling sun" and "cement prophets."

Wonderful use of contrast in this one, Henry. The use of "tender" twice normally would strike me as unnecessarily repetitive, but it works here. I liked the whole thing, especially that last line - the memories following the sun to the west and dropping below the horizon.
