Written: September 08, 2023 Sunsets Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Natasha L Scragg _____________________________________________________________ In September golden day, so glorious and beamy, As twilight stains the sky, a cynosure so dreamy. Dusk abides, effulgent hues ignite the land, And felicity abounds as we bask in daylight's sleek hand. Penumbra kisses the horizon, casting a mellifluous spell, Fugacious twinkles, as erstwhile avian dwell. A demesne of pastures, comely and calm, Where halcyon trees sway to the riparian psalm. Harbingers of sunset, sunburnt and diaphanous, Serenade the land with their soothing lullaby chorus. Vesper whispers skid, such an elixir so tall, Glamour and silence embrace, as the trees do enthrall. In this bucolic scene, dulcet and radiant, The purple hues paint a landscape so vibrant. Slumber approaches, as the red heat fades Epiphany dawns, a dramatic parade. The horizon ablaze with refulgent light, Lurid flames of passion, inflamed and bright. Beaming through the breeze, the sundown delight, A spectacular event, incandescence ignites the night. As the gloaming swings to night, a symphony unfolds, A dance of shades and emotions, stories yet untold. In the afterglow, the world retreats, To a striking melody, where each note meets. Splendiferous sunset, resplendent and grand, The nighttime sky bestirs, a resounding band. Evenfall descends, with its dark flame, A splendid display, a sight to acclaim. The striking hues, such a painting divine, Illuminate the darkness, with a radiant shine. The nighttime sky, a tapestry of wonder and delight, A symphony of colors, painting the night. The evenfall whispers a tale so sweet, As the moon rises, the night's heartbeat. A symphony of silence, embraced by the dark, A peaceful retreat, where dreams embark.

Tapestry of wonder and delight do divine and majestic, dear sotto, your words and poems are like magical sunsets too, i love chasing sunsets and dreaming away, and your words are the same, never boring, flowing with vivid imagery and descriptive diction and rhymes, every line here is soul warming and so creative. I especially love how you’ve described the moon rise as sun sets, and the symphony of silence how melodious it sounds as skies are streaming with various colors. This is impeccable.
