Summer Sunset

Summer sunset's blinding beauty Utterly a fascination. Maybe I'll be driving toward it, Many days on long vacation' Endless rays and scarlet streaks Rolling across the evening skies Send a thrill of pure delightful, Utmost beauty to my eyes. Never has an artist painted Such a spectacle as this. Every fiber of my being Tells me God has sent a kiss.

Dear Joyce, What a beautifully written acrostic. Some find this form to be difficult, but your words flow so well and I actually got goose-bumps reading the last two lines. Exquisite is the only way to describe it. Best wishes in the contest! Love you, Carolyn

I'm not usually a fan of acrostics, but this has a great rhythm and encapsulates the mood.
