Night�s Palette

 

A turquoise sky marbled with wisps of Xanadu clouds,

Framing smudges of magenta layered over wrinkles of denim,

Smeared above remnants of a setting orb

Outlining silhouettes of barren limbs stretching into space.

 

Let’s walk along the shadows wrapped in weary contentment

Hands intertwined in night’s rhapsody

Silently sharing the crescendo of a days demise

As it graciously releases its last breath into twilight.

Just corrected a typo. The poem is the same.

Your captivating words really do express the mystery and romance the night can bring, love the Xanadu cloud reference.

I love the last moments of sunset. Nothing can capture you in its beauty and then lure you into the darkness quite like that moment in time. Well versed.

I love the description. I've never read a poem that used denim as a description for the sky. That was very creative!

Absolutely beautiful. Intelligently written with great imagery. I love beauty of the first stanza and the serene tone of the second. Wonderful written!!!

A very vivid, beautiful, description of sunset and twilight. I used to love to walk along the shore at sunset and your poem has taken me back to when I could do so. Very nice poem.

Hugs,
Ellen
