Notes About The Poem

Scarlet Sunset

brilliant brushstrokes of a masterly mind
                       golden glimmers of a scarlet sunset emerge
                                glinting glorious gossamer glow 
                         viewing vermillion twilight poignant portrait
                                etch enchanting serene solitude 
                          peaceful Palms spark tender tranquility 
                                opalescent ocean inspires bliss.

This beauty expresses God’s majesty so magnificently it is bound to be a top winner Mala. You outdid yourself! Your vivid imagery in descriptive colors eludes to the Ekphrasis form as well as the Alliterisen form. Outstanding! Mele Kalikimaka my friend. Blessings xxoo

Oh wow, Malabika...this is simply beautiful. The picture does not do your words justice; but it does present a gorgeous image of the sunset. Thanks for sharing.
