POTD Jan. 24, 2025 Poem for 2025 challenge of Brian Strand ___________________'_______________________________________
With my last rays s m e a r i n g the sky like apricot jelly, I shine bitter-sweetly on the horizon. Transforming into a blazing blood-red before I vanish completely, I let myself slide into the sea, yielding to the coming darkness.

Andrea, congratulations on your win and belated congratulations on your POTD! This poem is so rich in visceral images of "apricot jelly," a "blood red" sun and sliding with the sun into the sea. I love that you chose to write in the voice of the sun. Blessings of beautiful sunsets over the mountains to you!
