Twilight . . .

Hello blog friends, I've another poem to share. Author Colleen Chesebro posted a new challenge which includes the stipulation that participants use synonyms for the words TWILIGHT and HUE. 

I've written a simple tanka poem for this week's syllabic submission. As you'll read, it follows a familiar theme. I hope you enjoy it and also hope you'll join in the fun.

Have a wonderful weekend! 💗

Dissolving: loved the imagery of this word.
We do dissolve into the moment. Lovely take on the prompt. And then the photo. Wow. Made me give in to dissolving. The poem had me meld into the lovely moment. Thanks for sharing.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
