About This Poem

A Farewell at Dusk

Pink Sahara in the sky;
clouds are dunes of sand.
I am watching shadows play
right into my hand.

Farewell, light of day.
Sky, a painted desert rose
slowly fades away.

Written 9/30/12 by Andrea Dietrich

For nette onclaud's  
WONDER OF DUSK IN SEGUIDILLA Poetry Contest
