Takipsilim
Promising pink and purple
defeats wishful white and blue,
bright soleil darkens,
luna casts its gloomy hue.

The way you describe dusk darkening day is both wistful and appealing. We can look forward to the night, I think, and then the return of “wishful” day. Heart-filled work, sister!

Beautiful poem Rosema in the description of colours. I think of the saying: “read sky at night sailors delight,” when I read your piece about the pink and purples of night coming. Visually appealing Rose 🙂

This is very nice. 🙂 But, Luna isn’t gloomy. She is beautiful like her sister the sun, just in a calmer way. She’s much safer to photograph, too. 🙂 I enjoy your posts, Rosema. Have a beautiful day!
