Yesterday Andy and I had the privilege of seeing a beautiful sunset after a tasty barbecue in the garden. Sunsets are something that I never want to get complacent about as they are such a treat from nature and provide a memorable close to each day for those who choose to notice them. Today’s poem is a tribute to yesterday’s spectacular show.
Sundown
As we rose, you descended
A giant blood-orange button, glazing the somniferous hillside with eye-catching presence
Witnessing your dazzling departure felt like a snatched moment of egg-yolk ecstasy
(A nucleus far too grand however for the likes of soldier dipping!)

I sometimes find sunsets a little sad, but there is always that promise to return in the morning…
Sunsets are, at the same time, everyday and special. No two alike. I love the comparisons to blood orange buttons and egg yolks. Soldier dipping is a new one on me, probably the equivalent of using toast to sop the yolk of a fried egg? Love the mountains and fields or gardens in the photo, too. 🙂
Hi there,
This is my first time visiting your blog and I find it very lovely. I love the photos you’re sharing. You are a great photographer I bet.
By the way, I am new in blogging and I hope you can support me. Just recently, I made a challenge to myself that I will visit 10 blogs daily for the next 21 days. During my visit, I will leave comment and will have links of the blogs I visited on mine. Hope you can support me by visiting my blog and leaving your footprint too.

Yes there can be a certain melancholy and also a lot of joy! Best enjoyed with a beach bar cocktail I say! 🙂
