Kaleidoscopic - Collab With Jo

Kaleidoscopic - Collab with Jo Enjoying the kaleidoscopic view, As the sky changes to a brilliant hue, Songbirds fly across the clouds to their home, As the azure becomes a salmon dome, Kaleidoscopic hues write twilight prose Silky mauve mingles with scarlet and rose Wispy clouds drift in tufts of pink A coral jubilees when sunset winks. Tangerine sun recedes slow from the scene, Entering demurely is the night queen, What a sight to behold is this sunset! Nothing's more kaleidoscopic as yet! Cerulean queen wears crowns of bright stars White hot clear gems and flaming cinnabars Polar stars spin as gold day slips away Colorful hues kaleidoscopic daze. 4-6-23 Contest: Collab with Jo Sponsor: Jo Daniel Rhyme Scheme: a,a,b,b Ten syllables per line

I loved seeing the way each of us interpreted Jo's poem! That is truly one of the beauties of poetry! Her colorful imagery really impacted my sense of a twilight masterpiece and sparked bright pictures of the changing sky. Anaya, thank you so much for your lovely feedback and compliments. So appreciated! Blessings!!

Thank you so much Linda! Such a delightful experience after I finally got into the cadence and feeling of Jo's wonderfully expressive words. I have always loved twilight - a joyful expression of color and light as night approaches. Sending you blessings!

This was such fun Jo! It took me awhile to get into the the mood of your beautiful poem but, once I did, writing with you about a gorgeous sunset was truly a delightful, and colorful, experience. From now on, I will definitely look at sunsets with a different eye Thank you for your placement - I am honored to place among so many exquisite poems. I hope we get to do this again! Blessings to you. Thank you for sponsoring this contest!

Dear Valsa, I loved the thought of a sunset being a kaleidoscope of ever changing colors and patterns. It truly is fleeting moments of enchantment one more beautiful than another until the sunset is gone in the wink of an eye leaving us with memories! I so appreciate your discerning eye and thoughtful words dear friend! I hope Jo likes it! Sending all the blessings of the Easter season!!!
