Edward Ibeh Poet Imagism

Notes About The Poem

At Sunset

Toweringly tall trees 

                rustle over yonder;

           all standing at attention

                    black against

           the tangerine-hued sky.

     The sun is finally bidding adieu

            as a tired day is slowly 

              lulling itself to sleep.

Sam Kauffman December 14, 2020 at 10:37 AM Amazing picture, Edward - so vivid in its contrasts. Love "standing at attention," "tangerine sky," "tired day." You really packed a visual punch into your brief lines. Congratulations on your win! Really like this one.

Caren Krutsinger May 27, 2019 at 9:24 PM I never thought of how black the trees get at night, but they surely do. Your imagery is wonderful, Edward. Edward Ibeh May 28, 2019 at 5:20 PM Thank you, Caren:-)
