God Painted a Sunset

I closed tight my eyes And in a trance I saw God He painted the sky Picking up a brush pure blue He swirled a slash of azure Hesitating long He dipped a brush rosy pink He held a brush gold Gazing and pondering long He painted an orb of gold _______________________ July 23, 2012 Poetry/Tanka/God Painted A Sunset Copyright Protected, ID 07-4087-84-23 All Rights Reserved, 2012, Constance La France Written for the contest, Top Five Sunsets sponsor, Francine Roberts, Judged 7/25/2012 Second Place Featured poem week of December 13, 2020
