The sky split
And spilt
All the secret flavors
It had been holding
Flowing
Streams of peach, tangerine
Persimmon
Across the hori(sun)
Then released a golden glowing drop
Of honey
That splashed into the sea
Leaving a rosy sky
Lavender clouds
And the taste of delight
On our tongues
Hope y'all aren't tired of sunsets ;-)--this was another prompt from the beach inspired month at Poetic Bloomings to write about a sunset. Also shared with OLN at dversepoets.com where the sun never sets ...both photos are by yours truly, feel free to share

DeleteSo beautiful, Sara. I really like the idea of the sunset as a secret... and I especially like the first pic. Breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie! It started with that word "spilt". Funny how the mind works--thank you for the kind words:-)
