Notes About The Poem

Burgundy Sunset

Burning burgundy
sunset in the hot desert
Stars come fervently.
Yet, the cacti blooms appear
at the romance time of year.

Cherry charcoal skies
aswirl with rich, orange zest,
trails the western prize.
Cool desert moon of twilight
casts its silver, like a knight.

Hilda Greenhough April 16, 2026 at 6:28 PM Living in the desert, I know your poem is accurate. No matter how hot during the days, the nights can be cool or even cold. I I enjoyed the rich descriptions and bright desert colors. The addition of the desert picture lends mystery.
