Sunset, Dawn, Nature, Mountains

Can I compare colors to a summer's day? So many different hues at play. Summer is saffron like an orange balloon, hot and fiery by the first week of June. Noon is yellow, a lemon so bright, until the creeping sunset casts, a crimson light. Tangerine shadows upon chartreuse grass means another summer day has passed. A lavender dusk brings cool to the day. with scent of lilac around the way. Watermelon tastings flavor July, as fireworks inspire aquamarine sky. The world rests beneath a white coral moon. Gently dreaming with a soft summer swoon. 4/19/2021

My dear husband Michael, passed away about nine months ago and I lost all desire to write and read poetry. I am finally getting back to Poetry. Love, Connie
