Evening Sky

She wears a gown of saffron silk bordered with black leaf lace, the moon her silver circlet clasp with sparkling stars encased; she dips satin slippers in the sea, we her opalescent footprints trace. March 16, 2022 Bite Size Poem No. 40 Poetry Contest

So lovely Faye. Love your personification of the evening sky as a gentile lady wearing "satin slippers," "saffron silk," and a "silver circlet." This is as delicate as the evening sky herself. Enjoyed this lovely picture.
