I sit and watch as the Sun goes down,
as It sits on the Edge of the World,
its falling, and rising Somewhere out there.
The setting is settling and I am Just sitting,
Settled But the thought of The Sun Setting setting.

I watch as the Clouds take on the colours,
The Clouds Fill with red, Purple and Orange,
The colours in no Special order just Seam to Arrange.
This Sun is falling and Rising at once.
I'm Just a Boy - I'm Just a Dunce
yet I get to See this wonderful sight,
of the Sun going down - turning the day into night.

(In the first part I experimented with rhythm, while In the Second part I experimented with Rhyme, apparently Orange and Once have no Rhymes  )

Klondike,
It seems strange
bout that word orange
and you know that once
could rhyme with punts
even though the spelling's not the same
it's so much fun with the rhyming game

Btw I loved the imagery of the poem.
Be well

Klondike~
Enjoyed your sunset colors.
While I can't help with orange ...
you might like knowing that bunce is a
good rhyming word with once -

*bunce - n.
a sudden unexpected piece of good fortune

Hope you find it helpful ...
What good fortune !

loved the imagery of this. colors and description gripped me. orange and once are those funny words in the english language that don't have many words that rhyme with them. i was going to say ask marge (she is very helpful) but i see she already has responded lol. she's great like that!

take care.

Thanks Guys  

I Tried to Stray away from the cliche sunset Colours, and creat imagery with thoughts and structure more, but then I did try to Hide it  

heheh Either I hid it too Well or I Totally Suck  

I prefer the Former :P
