Blog, Nature Another Day in Paradise by Christine Bolton • August 20, 2020 • 37 Comments Another Day in Paradise The flames of sunset burning what’s left of the daytime sky Awash with golden honey, pinks and dappled greys Tall Mexican Fan Palms stand like giant swizzle sticks waiting to stir an evening cocktail A moon already on the rise soon to make its entrance before the scattering of stardust against what will become the velvety night time expanse And so it is The end of another day in paradise Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Linda from Charmed Chaos is hosting Open Link Night at D'Verse Poets Photo - My Own Share this:TweetEmailPrintLike this:Like Loading...

I like the use of colour in the first stanza, Christine, so evocative of sunset. I smiled at the ‘Tall Mexican Fan Palms…like giant swizzle sticks / waiting to stir an evening cocktail.’
