Sunset Poems | Examples of Sunset Poetry

We had a day straight out of a dream, perfect in every way. We savoured our favourite dinner, satiated, kicked back, put up our feet. It was pure harmony, we didn't want it to ever end. Front row seats for the best outdoor show in town. A mug of french vanilla coffee in hand, we were one with the universe....

Gliding on waves, the evening sun, Imparts glowing shimmering hue, As the misty evening is spun, Gliding on waves. Water adores the misty blue, Sprinkled with bits of love and dew, Hope and dreams for the life renew. Under the sky, the world is one, The sun shines upon, leaving none, For birth of new day has begun, Gliding on waves. ...

Smiling down on the speckles of sand, already the warmth is fading. Dreaming of brilliant stars to appear as their mother rested on waves. At the height of graceful magnificence her soft chrome glow diminishing. One last show she would provide before she went to bed. She reached her arms to the skies and bid her children "good night." Sinking slowly, hesitantly, into the darkness, she painted...

As I look out upon the heavens, a great sight meets my eyes, as I look upon the sky. Twilight has come. Oh! Wonderful twilight stretching across the sky! The song of an unspoken beauty, the dance of a graceful painting, the colors of a gentle wave. Pink, tinged across the blue, bands of color floating lazily about,...

We think we have the best of both worlds… we get to watch the sun set over the ocean… watch as into the water it slowly drops… And we also get to watch it set…into the horizon from on a mountain top. There are many things we love about sunsets… A few of them I’ll name… One is how in a lifetime...

In the mirror I see, framed like a painting a woman who mistakes face for truth, and wears affection like yesterday's shirt. Lost, confused, occasionally lying— One who fears loneliness, so she invites harm just to be seen. One who can't stand her shallowness— but in midnight darkness, a sharp Discomfort reminds her that she's none but a human— the her tale ends in...

How innocent are the words from the mouths of cute teens, it's raw poetry dedicated to lovers in any season that inflames ardent desire! Can that burning flame endure the longest time and become brighter and hotter than a crackling fire? Nothing seems strange about being sentimental, it's the age of tender romance, somehow delusional; touching should be spontaneous, not considered sinful: we all...

A bottle of gin for every sin within lair of an evil twin The likes of a flying kite, away from gloom of this room. September's never a rest but eyes up another glass cup. A bird's breasts trembling detests the coldness of a night's icy test, a tune meant for her is a noise blur lost in the tavern and I can't have...

My mind drifts loose into the moving art framed by train window. Houses in the field glitch by— brick red roofs and windows that hold sunset across the champaign. I wonder what it’s like to live in that world, where you wake and rest with the sun. My gaze drifts to clouds light as swan feathers. Their dance—effortless, unrepentant as the sunset dyes...

Like the course of bubbling rivers Meander to the ocean's breast, Never has my journey faltered, Obsessed with where the sunset rests~ Perfection plunges to the sea... Written Jun 12, 2025 for Nette's Abecedarian Contest...
