Teal Silhouettes

Lilacs perfume the Summer's sultry air, wafting fragrance upon the evening breeze. And an indigo sky of flawless blue; frames the emerald leaves atop the trees. Sol melts like a nugget of molten gold, slowly sinking into a sea of fire. And ebony saturates the darkness; as lingering sunbeams slowly expire. The screeching of an owl pierces the dark: disrupting the silence imposed by Night. And Dusk's silhouettes morph into pitch black, as shadows absorb the last of the light. Luna rises at a leisurely pace, beautifying Night with Her beaming face.

Love your imagery, "sapphire skies, teal silhouettes" "shadows absorb the light" just wonderful expressions, typically you!

Lovely and enjoyable, Emile - your poem holds it own pace, with leisurely delight for the reader's senses. Don't think you need a comma after lilac??? Again, most enjoyable ... CayCay
