Sunset

Wan shades 
of carmine and carnelian
Dying in a sunset’s 
languid demise
The flame of pink, 
the smoke of lavender
Grudgingly giving rise…to
Final feeble glowing light 
of velvety purple 
Then to Ebon soot of night

An absolutely beautiful, carefully observed evocation of an ordinary event. I really enjoy writing that incorporates a rich palette of literal color. Fine writing; fine reading. Thanks. Jack

A painter's palette in words. Nice work.

Thanks Jack, for the kind words. I think only a select few are going to read this since my choice of words might be a little over the top for most. I always check out the work of poets that comment on me to find out what kind of poet they are before I reply and so I know whether to bother reading and commenting on their work. You be getting reviews from me in the near future.
