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.

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. Moonlight and Magic, Gershon
