Sunset Stain

On indigo skies, there was sunlit stain, Exotic hues, that ever clash and blend, For daytime's loss, had become evening's gain, And all golden days must come to an end, Like the green bird that's flown around the bend, Vividly lovely, on skies of twilight! Orange and red stain, of vision's delight, And wildly eclectic, like fields of blooms. Such bright abstract stains, at the sun's last might, That lingers, like full bloom flowers' perfumes!

Evelyn, this has got to be one of my favorite sunset poems! Going into my faves, for sure. I love the line "For daytime's loss, had become evening's gain", but so many others as well. Congratulations on your #1 placement! ~ John
