Technically this is for day 5 of the challenge (the 7th)

But I caught a chest infection and the 7th was actually spent asleep and then talking to my GP

I'm feeling a little better (kinda, not really) so I decided to try and catch up with the remaining parts of the challenge

Challenge number 5 was a sonnet, but we were not required to follow the stressed unstressed syllable pattern

(I am also not actually certain if the title fits)

 

Night starts quietly as the light fades
Stars shining bright above in a clear sky
A forest clearing fills with ghostly shades
As drums start to beat sparks begin to fly

Moving in circles that break and reform
Patterns that shift as cellos fill the air
Ozone the mark of the oncoming storm
Music rising with a magicians flair

The magic sparks growing into a flame
Life and death joined together in power
uncontrollable, something none can tame
fading as the dancing slows hour by hour

The final dance beneath the cold moonlight
The final waltz in the dance of the night
