Notes About The Poem

Line's Bitesize No 99 Contest ~ January 31, 2025

Sanguine Sunset

Slowly, there was a sanguine setting of the sun
A breathtaking vision before twilight had begun
No artist's brush could ever capture the glowing
nor the rippling waves from the wind blowing
I watched as the beauty of it enveloped me...
that moment when daylight drowned in the sea

Lin, this has a wonderful quality that makes me stop and imagine what you have described. The drowning of sunlight is a strong image. I really like what you do poetically. It's an admirable talent!! Smiles!!

Hi Ink and thank you so sincerely for your thoughts on my poem. Sunsets are quite lovely, but I often find sunrise even more beautiful. Pity that more aren't awake to enjoy them, but such is the way my inner clock works.
