Newton Ranaweera Poet Rhyme

Romantic Evening

Twilight – the whip-cracker of – Night
             …………..Reaches the beach;
Sky sets – Venus - the evening light,
      And to welcome her lover – Sun,
        She wears a rosy, glassy dress. 

      Flirted by her rosy, glassy dress,
Sea furls his knightly, vaulting waves
                …………and he does crown 
   Them with flickering, fiery ringlets
      And sets a royal bed for the duo. 

       Flirted by her rosy, glassy dress,
Sea-gulls glare; they miss their watch; 
Whales stare through … scarlet screen;
All miss their work; all stop their work,
And leaving world to them, all…go home.

Gershon Wolf September 10, 2020 at 8:40 AM I like your unique take on a 'Romantic Evening' -- where the evening itself takes center stage, instead of lovers in the foreground with the evening itself as a backdrop.
