Twilight The Hand of the Artist swift brushes the sky With pale pinkish color set over the blue Soft opal beams from the clouds overlie Magnificent streaks of an amethyst hue He dabbles His brush into tints on His palette As greys of the twilight burst out into gold Then rapidly changing to deep royal purple As blending of brush strokes the splendor unfolds A corner of aureate light slowly fading Turns emerald green field into copper and bronze The Artist then darkens the colors to shading And erases reflection on rivers and ponds As nighttime approaches the blue-blacks yet deepen With uplifted eyes we look on from afar The sky is enriched and our rapture is steepened As He sprinkles the heavens with little white stars Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 04-28-2000).] |

Liz, your poems are many, subjects diverse, but this one HAS to be very nearly my favorite of yours...this, to my way of thinking, is a masterpiece, both in craft and thought. You are quite the natural, and I remain your poetic admirer. ~ Claire |

Janet Marie, Thanks for the palette. Gees, everyone's putting me to shame with their graphics Thank you so much Claire, I don't even know what to say to you. Those remarks are very warming from a poet of your caliber. Thank you, dear Liz |

Liz, you describe the beauty of twilight perfectly. Another great work. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Liz, This is wonderful!!! I tried to write about a sunset recently, I wanted to make it seem like it was painted in by God but I couldn't manage it. You have done a beautiful image of it...simply lovely. You are a poet of awe inspiring caliber.

This particular piece should be given to every atheist in the world...just to show them who is in charge! Remarkable piece from an equally remarkable person. |
