This Freestyle poem paints a clear picture of the sunset.

Your terms "Demure white," "towering thunderheads," and "aromatic incense" are all strong descriptors. So is "sunset's grandiose gold."

In addition, poem tells about features one would discover under the sunset ranging from Antelope Valley and Topaz Lake to pronghorns and "jutting pine trees."

These contribute to help a reader better envision the "memory collected in Nature's soul."

Hello Crystie,
You've written a wonderful free form poem with magical imagery
and description of the Sierra Nevada Mountains at sunset,
like "demure white violets blush under sunset's grandiose gold" and "luscious layers of towering thunderheads."
The photograph is a perfect companion for your poem.
Well done.
Good luck in the contest and
Best wishes to all.
Robert

Hi Crystie,
This is a well done free verse poem which is illustrated well. I like the personification of nature. I like the reserved British guard metaphor.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend
Joan.

I love your style! You use a lot of very descriptive words that really give your senses a feel! My favorite line is , "A thoughtful haze may hug the foothills..."
Great job Crystie!

This is truly an outstanding work of art. It's a beautiful yet compelling poem. Keep up the amazing work! If you ever have the time, I would appreciate it if you could take a look at some of my portfolio and give me some pointers.

I would suggest that every memory of the sunset resides in your soul and nature, rather than one of the other they reside simultaneously in both. The photograph is beautiful! I love mountain landscapes with the sun setting in the background.
This is an excellent free-form poem.
Jesse
