Twilight's Dessert

raspberry pink sky flat-topped mountain ridge beneath. . . . chocolate crust pie clouds coalescing trimming twilight’s slice of sky. . . . dollops of whipped cream

I would rename this fantastic haiku, Andrea....Neapolitan Sunset or Neapolitan Sky....superb picture I am conjuring in my mind..like a sand sculpture mixed by time.....You will reign in this one. Carolyn's is fabs too. Check hers out.....Hope your back is mending...I found out thru comments that you were aching,........feel better. Gwendolen

I wrote Connie and asked her if we should be receiving each other's poetry on PFT. I'm sure you have posted, but I'm not getting your work. Love, Dave. The poem is yummy. I like the "raspberry pink sky."
