Curtain Call
I can't decide upon goldenrod,
dandelion, or just plain old yellow,
but tonight's buttery light
melts into mother earth
as periwinkle sky winks, blinks
and yawns her way toward midnight.
So much I love silhouettes itself
against evening's curtain call
as twilight's music begins.

My favorite time of day and you capture it beautifully.
I love those silhouettes as twilight comes...you put it beautifully.
I love the end of the day and you have translated its beauty so well.
You took me with you. Lovely.
I love that line: 'Tonight's buttery light melts into Mother Earth'.
The sunset is wonderful, there is a sense of tranquility and rests to come... right now it's the perfect time of year to really live in the sunset...
I was right there experiencing it with you! Amazing!
I'm a sucker for sunset silhouettes! This is a great depiction. Beautifully done, Margaret! Walter
I love that part of the day too, the changing colors and silhouettes of dusk ~
Thanks for joining us Margaret ~ And lovely photo of our daughter ~
You evoke lovely images.

Beautiful, beautiful lines.
Thanks, I needed that quiet beauty to remind me that despite the terrorist chaos that has descended upon the world, we have a choice to take a breath, be thankful for our families, touch the face of AllThatIs, & let twilight lull us into the sweetest of slumber.
'Periwinkle sky' :)
Beautiful!
Got so immersed in the poem I had to read again to find out how you used 'melt'. Loved it.
I love, twilight's music. What a lovely phrase. Wonderful poem, Margaret.
