October's Sunsets

I watched the sunset in my rearview mirror as I drove home and it was beautiful. I wished I would've pulled over to take a picture.

October's sunsets light up the sky

Red swirls, purple twists

Dark streaks like finger prints

Author's Note

I wanted to make this longer, but I kept going back to these three lines alone. What do you think? Should I keep it as is or add on?

: ) I love it!! It sounds like a most awesome song chorus when you read it aloud. I don't know what great memory this DOESN'T remind me of. : ) Beautiful Theresa. xoxo -Mark

Poems can be decieving sometimes. We think because were here to write story's and poems that they need to be a certain length to have some value or that we should have worked harder. The fact that you kept going back to these three lines was that silent whisper in your ear telling you that's enough. I'm learning to hear it myself. Leave it as is.

If a poem doesn't let you keep adding lines it's probably because it's ready, simple but touching. Good writing.

There's nothing wrong with leaving it how it is. its beautiful. Its short, but it describes so well that I can clearly see an October sunset. great work

this creates a very beautiful, vivid and intense picture of the sunset
captured with just a few words.

Very good!!

Short and sweet but it paint the picture well! I like it. Picture is worth a thousand words but you made it so that you could describe it in a few but still give the right imagery for the reader! well done!

I really enjoyed it. I was watching a sunset last week, and what I really noticed was the dark, dark pink! It's hard to put it in words, maybe a picture only the mind can take.
