SUNSET II

And yet another sunset poem...

Peacock in the Western sky

Fans out colours bright and bold:

Coral, turquoise, amethyst

Flutter on the spreading gold.

 

Now dark copper clouds ignite

With the final burning rays;

Swirling colours melt to bronze,

Feathers blacken in the blaze.

I'm a sunset fanatic here. I love it how you kept this so short and yet so good that while reading this, it just put a smile on my face.

[Marie]

Yes, all sunsets are special.

[Samuel Dickens]

Sunsets are truly amazing, and I enjoyed this one a lot. About now, I imagine the sun is especially welcome in your part of the country.

[Marie]

Actually, it's starting to get hot in San Antonio.

I love watching sunrises and sunsets... the new beginnings... the wondrous endings... and you paint this sunset with endless, wild colors... Loving it even more. :)

[Woody]

your comparisons are always spot on, Marie. and what sublime colours in this one. but then Nature has always been your speciality.
another gorgeous one.

[Marie]

Thanks. I will never run out of sunsets.

[Woody]

I'm sure you won't. they're all so different and inspiring. a true poet will always find something to say.

[Nicholas Johnston]

This is a beautiful piece of imagery! I like the peacock comparison in there, the whole poem made it easy for me to paint a picture in my mind. I also like the last line "Feathers blacken in the blaze", it brings an awesome closure to the whole peacock analogy.

It's not always easy to have a rhyming poem without some words sounding awkward, but you did it wonderfully. Everything here flows so naturally, it's perfect.

Please continue writing. I eagerly await to read your work!

[Marie]
