Saffron sunbeams color chiffon ribbons entangled in the clouds. And purple lilacs brush the air, painting delicious aromas. Orange tints the rim of the earth as charcoal skies reveal shy stars. And as twilight shifts into dusk, darkness descends, devouring day. Cotton candy pink hides the sun behind a bright magenta glow. And a rising moon's golden hue gilds alabaster clouds below. Night dons a cloak of tattered black, summoning the screech of an owl. And soon, reality slumbers, dreaming in muted shades of blue. Far horizons of ebony, ink shrubs, and trees in silhouette. And Venus summons tomorrow, anticipating today's death. (Blank Verse) 3/27/2017

I loved the way you've described sunset slipping into dusk, and then into night. We see shades of colour like these in Australia and you described it beautifully.A 7+
