Shines
Silken words luminary
The silkworm fed ink
She, wary
On cyprus paper with quill
Under blue sunset
Letters shrill.
Spun soft in golden moonlight
Repetitiously
Tetched delight
She, with yellow eyes
Glorifies.

Love the imagery in this one, and the large presence of ‘s’ sounds really sink and swell in the mind as you read along.
