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
