Starless

 

Twilight's

Highlight

serrated the edges

 hard to fuzzy

and serenely softened

the form's shapely shadow

into a Tower of Tilted Tallness

before it merged with

the starless night

and the moon

pecked at

what's

left.

Intriguing piece! I particularly liked the shape of it, and the rhythm, which is excellent, as well. Well done.

The form really lends itself to the poem, enjoyed the alliteration and most of all the final four lines.
