Fall Sunset

The fiery orange glow reminds me The dusk sky is beautiful tonight Will light the jack-o-lantern early Crisp air encourages hugs just right Your smile in the soft light warms my heart Like joyous rapture entwined with you The peace I feel radiates in part The grand celestial displays in view As the sun departs it's light in kind All night creatures appear, bats and such World within a world, under a vine Snuggled close our hearts, hands and souls touch Sunset sky in fall air, crisp and cool That huggly, snuggly season of ghouls! For the sonnet contest--revised

This is sweet and lovely Doris. Human nature within nature,both encompassing beauty and love,except the ghouls but we can put them aside! They're not real anyway.Everything else here is of the wonders of life.And I think you've captured them beautifully.I really liked this.Good luck with it. Love June(S)

I have not read imagery like this in quite awhile. I can say that I would prefer your description of anything than to have someone actually show it to me. This is BEAUTIFUL. Wow!
