crepuscular \kri-PUS-kyuh-lur\, adjective:
1. Pertaining to twilight; glimmering; hence, imperfectly clear or luminous.
2. (Zoology) Flying in the twilight or evening, or before sunrise; -- said certain birds and insects.



The morning beckon,
with the call of seagull and the shimmering ocean,
timid waves caressing the sand

"Ahh, look at that pa! Those auroral rays!!"
"Not auroral. Crepuscular.", said he.
"Oh, Cre-pus-cu-lar"..... "It's beautiful"

Light stabbing the darkness,
through the wispy clouds spread over the horizon
heralding a new day, a second twilight

"Hmmm, Crepuscular. "

@ sandeep

naa re... took from google home page only... which in turn takes it from dictionary.com 'word of the day'... most sites take their word of the day from there

@dd
The morning beckons hona chahiye... but There is this poem i once read 'Poem in october'.. it talks abt seagull crying.. uses 'morning beckon' not 'morning beckons'....

and if that was not the number agreement u were talking about, then i actually wasted 2 whole lines of typing :P
