Salty water moves
Undulating to the shore
Sailor’s lullaby


Red, blue, light-gray sky
Sunset burning into night
Daylight takes a break

A pewter grey sky
Mixed with mirror shards of red
Clouds filled with fire

More from this series:
Edge of the shoreline
Toes touching the water’s warmth
As the red sun sets
…
Sunlight cascading,
fading, into nighttime’s grasp
Evening sky bleeds
After publishing this earlier today I realized two things, the last line had six syllables in it (evening is three not two) and I also wasn’t a big fan of the way I closed the original – Evening sky turns red.
I went ahead and made the changes and then published it the way I think it should have gone out, originally. Us poets, so neurotic, we have to get it right.
Thank you for reading. You are now free to move about the blog.
