Backyard Sunsets

Backyard Sunsets

A Poem by MomzillaNC
















Silhouettes cast in backyard sunsets

Of angel painted skies in fairy light.

Everywhere softened edges glow

In the backyard sunset’s blaze.


Ordinary, hard, chore-laden land

Now transformed by light and color…

Immersed in hues of fiery warmth

Across the sky and here below…


Just a step outside my own door,

Walk into a world fired by magic.

Hear the chirping insect music,

Be bathed in pure tranquility…


With every never mundane…

Always magical backyard sunset…

There we always will be found…

Where home waits for me.

I love the way you gracefully led the reader into a beautiful journey. This was filled with a vivid image of nature's true colors. The last stanza had me a little confused. Could just be my comprehension. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box :D Thank you for sharing. Very well done.

^ Excellent introduction, you had me hooked from the beauty of this scene.

The imagery in this piece is outstanding, I love how vivid it was without being too much to bare. I love how you made something so common, so simple into something with more meaning and importance than words could ever really do enough justice for. Awesome write.

great poem! it shows us we don't have to travel halfway around the world to appreciate nature...in fact, her beauty is hiding in our own backyards.

This is an exceptional written portrait of a sunset. It does not need a photo, as the description is so vivid. Amazing.
