Summer's Color Palette

A saffron sun sinks into a sea of aquamarine. And chartreuse shadows slip-slide between frothy waves of white. Night's ebony fingers dip into the coral waters. And Sol paints shades of crimson upon pale lavender clouds. Tangerine moonbeams gather like fairies in the darkness. And silhouettes trap color, storing each pigment in black. A watermelon sunset marks the start of Sol's descent. And lilac-scented breezes tickle the leaves in the trees. (Blank Verse) 8/16/2017
