TEXAS SUNSET

Submitted by Linda Moses on Thu, 2012-05-03 23:32

Brilliant,blazing, softly crimson
aglow against the midnight blue horizon

Fingers strong and gentle dipping into the glory
of the melting twilight sun

Slowly streaking the reddish hue
across the complexion of the evening sky

What wonderment to the eye
The Ultimate Artist, proving He still can

i really like this
great personification
i just love
'Fingers strong and gentle dipping into the glory
of the melting twilight sun
... Slowly streaking the reddish hue
Across the complexion of the evening sky'
- wonderful visuals

just for reading and aesthetic purposes i would de-capitalise 'aglow' and 'across'

love judy
