Vijay Pandit Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Vermilion Sunset

Vermilion sunset

Menagerie of animals roam foggy mountain side
Unaware of vermilion sunset painting ocean tide
Reflecting on aqua-blue where reddish hues infuse 
As twilight flickers on ripples that leisurely cruise.

Ancestral dance-music echoes from the distant hills
As mockingbirds mimic birdsongs from the foothills,
While villagers frolic happily sipping luscious wine
Enchanted amidst frangipani scent, feeling divine.

As sun takes one last breath of drowning daylight
Pellucid waters shine bright courting glorious sight.
