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.
