Midnight skies of indigo hues
Indigo colored- the deepest blues.
Deeper into the soul of nature's night,
Nightime brings nature renewal's insight.
In sight, I find the glorious peace,
Glory that blows, winds hailing from east.
Hailing the birth of morning's twilight,
Twilight that captures culminating light.
Culmination as sun rises over,
Over the fields of violets and clover.
Violet hues repeat into the early eve,
Evening's craft- indigo skies it weaves.
Author notes
A rhyming acrostic wreath, had to give this a second try.

100th hoodwink
This is so poetc and great use of form. I noticed that in some lines, the last word become the first word of the next line and it was all woven into one fantastic piece.

100th Hood-Wink Celebrations!
An acrostic with a big difference, a lot of thought has been put into the style of this form, it is exceptional
The rhyme that ends and then starts, but still keeping to the acrostic, I don't think I've seen this version before, so I admire that you have challenged yourself...Exquisite metaphors penned, with beautiful imagery, an absolute joy to read
You have been ambushed by a Poetic Bandit to celebrate our 100th Celebrations

Wow....this is a gorgeous piece. I loved that you have an acrositic that rhymes. I guess I am going to have to try something like this. But I don't think I could top this. I loved every line that you penned it is beautifully done. And a great poem to read. What a great job you did. Keep it up.

Now, the good thing about this is - I believe - that if you had not said it was an acrostic I might have missed the fact that it was! The best acrostics can do that - the worst are too darned obvious and read like a message line (shopping list).
Our prizewinning entries seem to have woven in and out of each other!

Love the Acrostic - Too!
I didn't even notice at first that this was an acrostic - your poem blended and moved gently with perfect rhythm. An extra treat that your skilled poetic pen brought out an additional treat.
Best to you in the contest

Simply lovely! This gives such a spell-binding feel to the motion of the night into day and the final line weaves right back into the first to start it all over again. This is something I have noticed wreaths can be especially wonderful for - creating a "round"-like effect that lends itself to beautiful song-making.
Wow! And I see now as I look again that it is an acrostic, too, spelling out the candle scent so subtley I might have missed that, (which is a compliment - I admire the craft that must go into such a feat!) Thank you for this beautiful wreath.

I love this acrostic! The descriptions you used are great I enjoyed this
