Notes About The Poem

Shroud of Dusk

Dusk fell velvety maroon
when blue thrush whistled sharply,
at cool death of afternoon,
when teal stars glittered starkly.
In silk moon rays, green grass stirred;
and the red world turned darkly.
Natural beauty observed.:

Daniel Henry Rodgers April 10, 2026 at 7:18 AM Dear Evelyn, feels like dusk slipping on its jeweled shawl, maroon, teal, silk, all shifting as the day exhales. I love how you catch that exact moment when beauty darkens but doesn’t disappear, just changes temperature.
