Sherbet Skies
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Pink cotton candy
streaks divine sherbet sky,
While blueberry sorbets
go swirling on high.
Frosty orange creams
add neon glow to the scene,
As sun sets in the tropics,
in a blaze of tangerine.


“We are borne of star dust,
and to the stars we shall one day return.”
~ Linda L. Dowd

Linda...I should fuss at you, because you made me hungry for sweets and ice cream and I can't have any. Loved the poem and picture...Paul

Very beautiful Linda...
You know, this reminded me of the sunset I watched last night,
right here in  southern Ontario.
It was so full of all the colours you mention.
Hugs for this lovely.

Touch the sky, cheye! ~ and taste it!
