As the Day Turns

Blushing cheeks of horizon-- A kiss of golden sun, Periwinkle on magenta-- Caress of amethyst dawn. Floating random motion Are hazy white clouds, Humid air combustion Aroused by the oceans Is birthing new storm, As albatrosses glide On stone-color heights. Nascent ashen canvas Exuding accents gray-- Garb of celestial glumness Harboring fleeting rain. Behind misty rain drops Rainbow colors lurk, Spectrum that glitters-- Radiance of smart prisms. Music that is heard Is call of singing birds, Winds can be seen Where leaves flutter, Soft twilight bending-- Art of mauve evening. Onset of charcoal dark-- Day’s sullen goodbye, Twinkles in the night-- Welcome starry smiles. May 20, 2020 Placed 1st: Brian's Choice O Contest
