I have a feeling the sunset would be glorious whether someone was watching it or not.
This is a beautiful presentation. I want to just keep reading the verse and looking at the picture. So serene. Wish I had a six.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I am not a poet, so I am probably totally wrong, but I read it quite a few times and I read the first line as 'nobody's around tonight.' I'm sure by saying that I am breaking all sorts of poetic rules, but I just had to let you know. I love the poem and the image.

Barbara,
I changed the line to nobody's around tonight. I was wondering if nobody's is considered one word or two? The poem is 8 words limit.
Thank you very much for the kind words and insightful review. I am happy you like it.

Sunsets are beautiful, but like so many things in nature, they do go unseen, and unappreciated, very well written and presented, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Comment from AP Apgar
I like your eight word, 17 syllable modern haiku - you are amazing. Beautiful picture presentation. Poem has an excellent theme..making the best of...sometimes nobody around is a blessing, and especially if you are in such a beautiful place as in the picture. Even better than meditating with a bird? Poem has a clear uncomplicated message, good word count and flow. Good Job. Have a wonderful weekend AP

Hi Gypsy, I like the sentiment in this poem. As we sit in solitude, the sun soothes our soul and releases the stresses of the day. Of special note:
the sunset is glorious
(Indeed, it is)
Well done. Great photo choices. Beautiful presentation. A pleasure to read. This poem made me smile. Xo. M

Loved your formatting of the eight words and it really grabs your attention to have that "regardless" right in the middle of the poem to shift from the "nobody" line in the beginning and all the beauty that is not noticed at the end. Best wishes in the contest!!

God does such beautiful paintings in the sky at night and again in the morning it is always a blessing to see a beautiful sunrise or a beautiful sunset. Your poem helps me to understand that I need to appreciate each and every sky filled with brightness. Patricia
