Notes About The Poem

Write Nine Beautiful Lines (With A Twist) Poetry Contest

Admire the Beautiful Sunset

 “Sunsets are nature's way of soothing your soul and gladdening your heart.”  author unknown.

How can anyone not admire a scintillating theme
Of the golden, graceful sun now descending,
Behind the darkening horizon, a delightful dream.

     It is an amazing allure to watch the panoramic set,
     The wonder as I swim beneath the waves
     A sight that illuminates the wonder of sunset.

But night has now fallen, the sun has gone to its rest.
The sea is cool, I trudge to the sandy beach only to hear
The nightingales’ symphonies. Isn't creation blessed?

Dear Victor,this is absolutely beautiful! ? The way you capture the sun’s descent and the sea’s tranquility feels so peaceful and poetic.

As a sunset chaser! I absolutely love this poem! Your pen bleeds such soothing magic lately and this is no exception it is beyond stunning and the flow is seamless! I love especially “But night has now fallen, the sun has gone to its rest. The sea is cool, I trudge to the sandy beach only to hear The nightingales’ symphonies. Isn't creation blessed?” Exactly how i feel after every sunset altho we dont hear nightingales! Weve been gettin really golden sunsets lately! Another exquisite write!BOL
