Andrea Dietrich Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

POTD Jan. 24, 2025 Poem for 2025 challenge of Brian Strand ___________________'_______________________________________

As Sun Dies - POTD

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.

Sam Kauffman January 27, 2025 at 11:38 AM 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!
