Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

My Perfect Sunset

With eyes closed, I dream a perfect sunset-
   reflected in the aquamarine sea,
and interlaced with blue and crimson waves
   that undulate and flow so wild and free.

Sun glowing watermelon-tangerine,
   hangs low, framed by a lemon-saffron sky,
and lines of coral streaking twilight blues-
   relates, another day has bid goodbye.

Soon, eyes awake to sense my real world-
   sun shining pale against dim skies of blue.
Dusk has come, and from the open window,
   scents from lavender lilacs seep through. 

No rolling sea mirroring great sunsets-
   only a  lavish lawn that sprawls and flows
with wind forming grassy, chartreuse waves.
   My perfect sunset- only dreams disclose.
