That's a very appealing and beautiful free form poem. It flows well, and line by line the imagery the scene comes alive, with all aspects of nature and the accompanying animals vividly and thoughtfully described. Best wishes for your well-crafted, smooth-flowing entry.

This is a lovely sunset scene you've painted here in your flowing, colourful sentiments. The descriptive detail you've included - the aromas, the changing light, the flora and fauna - all add richness and delight to this post. I wondered about the word: painbrush and assume that's the correct spelling. It's always helpful, particularly for a contest, to add author's notes. Love the imagery in the third stanza. All excellent! Good luck! Debbie

    Thank you again for pointing that out. I must have misspelled it when re-typing it from Microsoft Word. It is fixed now.

This poem- amazing! So very beautiful! I lived in Tahoe, went to high school there for 2 years, before that we'd go up to Tahoe (from Mill Valley) as kids for Christmas vacation. They say Lake Tahoe is sacred. I can almost smell the forest with your verbal paintbrush! What a talent! Thank you, it did my heart good to read this work of art, for this area to be honored like this!

Beautiful visual and emotive imagery, Crystie, in your well-crafted free verse poetic offering.
Your vivid descriptive phrases allow the reader to feel as if she, too, is experiencing this gorgeous sunset with you as well.
Much enjoyed.

Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!

Now, that's a vivid description of a spectacular sunset in one of the great parks in America. What a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Beautiful picture. Is it a painting or a snapshot? Yours or another's? The thought came after reading whether there were elk and fish in the scene - no; however a contest may be in the making where a picture is posted and then contestants write about what they see. What do you think?

    Thank you for your review. Photo was from a royalty free search. I guess you are describing an ekphrastic contest prompt of sorts.
