Imagery Poem


Sunset

Blood red cuts into dusky blue
An ombré of nature's colors
On display for the world to see

Stars swirling with the day's last rays
Ignite the dark side of the sky
Fighting off the last signs of day

At last the red and orange relent
Handing the sky over to black
The sun kisses the sky goodbye

  1. I like the reference to ombre to describe the sky. If you want to do more with this, you could see if you can find fresher language to describe some of this -- "blood red"and "dark side" and "on display for the world to see" all sound overly common (and maybe melodramatic) as phrases.
