Purple Skies

Pale pink, purple and tangerines skies At twilight and as the sun begins to rise Such vivid skies as if painted by Monet I adore the sunset at the end of the day Soft pale purple clouds gently drift on by A hint of pastel sunbeams catch my eye Twilight arrives and now the day is done I just love to watch the setting of our sun Purple contest Sponsored by Kevin Shaw 1/19/19

Ah, Jan, this is so delicate, and lovely. It makes me want to see twilight but alas it is only 12:24 and the whole world is white here, I am pretty sure I will have to wait for another season or two. Nice one!
