Faye Gibson Poet Rhyme

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.

Sam Kauffman March 16, 2022 at 1:07 PM 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.
