Just Before Dark

A scarlet sun slips over the edge of Earth, light is banished, until Dawn's rebirth. Twilight softens a dog's bark with tweets of a lark, just before dark. At its core, Dusk appears so stark; till fireflies light up the park. While Luna imbues feelings of mirth, a scarlet sun slips over the edge of Earth.

You did yours perfectly Emile. I just can't seem to get the hang of it. Mine was so bad I removed it. I will try to learn from yours how to do it correctly. I loved your entry Emile. Congratulations on your first place win. Very deserving!
