Evelyn, what a wonderful image of a "fireproof ruby" to start this marvelous, image rich challenge. Love the blended experiences that are so picturesque. I always love the way you incorporate a reference to colors! Your world is indeed a kaleidoscope of colors! Best wishes for the challenge. Sending you blessings for "ruby" twilights of serenity."

Thank you so much for each of your kind thoughts, Sam. It's such a pleasure to read them. Because I'm so happy to be living in a beautiful world of colors, I enjoy writing about them, almost as much as looking. I enjoyed the blessings of ruby twilights of serenity sent. Many blessings to you, too, my friend.😄

A striking, compact free-verse poem that turns sunset into a vivid, dreamlike seascape. “Fireproof ruby” glows with bold colour, while the humming horizon, venturesome stillness, and fluttering narcissus create a lovely tension between movement and hush.
