Francine Roberts Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

     

Tonight's Sunset

That splash of pink
   in the sky
persistantly
   draws my eye.
The setting sun,
   the waning day,
daylight quickly
   slides away.
A last gift
   before it goes,
the pastel mural
   the sky now shows.

Delightful little piece... I enjoyed it's easy-going-ness... and thanks for reading my haiku this morning. It was much appreciated :)
