Sunset Poem

This is a poem I wrote about an imaginary sunset while experimenting


with poetry. I hope you enjoy it!




Paint splashed across the sky


Vibrant color astounding my eye


Taking in the setting sun


Over the hill where the river runs


Flowing to the ocean.


Red at first, fades to yellow,


Pinks, bold, and blues, mellow,


The sky a giant canvas coated


With colors that are devoted


To making this beautiful view tonight.


We sit on the hill, you and I


Watching the night take over the sky


The sun is gone, the moon glows


And the hill where the river flows


Is overtaken by night’s shadows.


Stars shine bright with icy light


Through the warm summer night,


Keeping vigil across the skies


Until again the sun shall rise.
