This is beautiful, Tina!

Sunsets are a gift, as you say. In our busy lives, some don't even look up and take for granted the beauty.
I loved this! Best, JohnC

    Hmmm...I like your commentary that we don't look up enough. Gets me thinking about another poem. How easy to look up, yet we dont do it as much as we should. Thanks, John for the review and food fro thought!

Sunset is always beautiful. Such beauty clears your mind and drives away all the unhappiness of the day.

I am lucky that my building is facing the river. The sunset scenery is so beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your work with us. I totally enjoyed it.

This is a very well penned piece of poetry in which you exalt the beauty of a sunset. It is a most beautiful sight to see and you have described it very well. Beautiful imagery and great use of alliteration throughout this lovely poem. Good luck.
