And today, Tom, you taught me yet another form of poetry ... the cameo.

I love the slivers of rhyme you've seasoned it with.

Gorgeous photo - talented photographer!

My husband was a photographer and photo historian, and yes, I accompanied many times as he searched for the light during the golden hour. Thank you so much for a stunning photo and for giving me such a lovely memory.
love the gets/silhouettes rhyming and the beautiful alliteration in setting sun silhouettes
beautiful descriptive detail of setting and you create such an upbeat, celebratory mood :-) Brooke

Your cameo presents a graphic word picture in consonance with your chosen artwork. As you suggest, it is a form well-suited to such paring, as in greetings cards. Apart from your rhyming, which is a definite enhancement, I found the carry-over alliteration of setting sun / silhouettes and escapes / enchants helped to give this short poem shape.

The imagery and words are powerful in conveying the melting and melding of the sun's silhouette within the sleepy city. well done, Tom.

The image and words convey the message well.
A Cameo poem is not a style I am familiar with but I can see that much can be
said in a fixed format style when thought and planning are used.
A lovely golden hour sunset image.

A pretty sunset, lovely artwork, Tom;
Well-penned dedication to the day's completion;
Nice alliteration provides good visual imagery;
"mellow glow"--my favorite descriptive line.
No finer way to complete the day than admiring what the skies have to offer.
A nice poem--a pleasure to read.
