This 5-7-5, Cocktail Hour, has the right set up and brings the heat and cooling together for that shot of the best of both extremes. Nice.

How clever! It reminds me of pink and blue liquids being stirred together... as happens at sunset. That's a beguiling use of the prompt. Best of luck in the contest

Hello mystery writer. That's a nice quiet: viewing the magnificent colors at the end of the day. It highlights the beautiful picture you have included. Good luck in the contest.

You have made excellent use of all of your syllables in this lovely piece.
The rhyming is an appealing enhancement, and the cocktail metaphor
helps paint a sweet image.

I like your warmth and coolness blend. That goes nicely with your image and leads into your cocktail reference. I think that I would change the title though. I can barely see the ship. I would just make the title about the sunset colors or the cocktails.
Good luck in the competition.

    I actually had a different title in mind and then spotted the boat. I agree with you and have changed it back to my original tithe. Thanks for sharing your insights!

    I like that title better.

Pretty illustration choice! I see the end rhymes with the "ight" sound. I think there is some alliteration of "c" with "coolness" and "cocktail" with just two words in-between. I think nature is prettier than alcohol ever could be, and this poem suggests so also.

The picture you choose it's"a cocktail of delights." Reading this poem, I am getting into a beautiful dream at the shore of a sea. Good luck with the contest.
