The Colors of the Sunset in Paradise

Hi! This is another poem I wrote just for fun. I live close to the ocean, and the sunset always looks incredibly beautiful, so I thought I’d try capturing it in a poem one day.

It’s called The Colors of the Sunset in Paradise. I hope you like it!

As the sun dipped low

Over the mountains, just a faint glow

I swept my brush across the sky

And blended, mixed, and painted colors, on the fly

And then the sky stained with the colors of my sun brush

The colors, sharp, vivid, beautiful, as the song of a meadow thrush

Gold, pink, pale blue, red

Purple, orange, fiery yellows, and upon the fringes, the color of plain gray lead

But the gray blue of the sky, I had once thought so beautiful

Seemed paltry at the sight of this sunset, incredibly wonderful

The colors mixed and blended

To powerful oceans, majestic mountains, and placid lakes, beauty was added

The colors stained and merged together

I looked back once, so I would remember forever

The colors of the sunset in paradise
