A worthy winner here in the colorful poem contest- these stanzas drip with colors from Nature and such superb use of imagery - 'day would close as if a curtain fell' such a poetic delight

Excellent entry for the Short and Colorful writing prompt contest. Personally, I would think your poem doesn't comply with the ''short'' part of the contest but the contest rules don't specify so you are fine.
I love the presentation and word imagery. You wrote concrete images easy to visualize.
Good luck!!!

Comment from Pearl Edwards
This is a beautifully descriptive, well rhymed poem on long ago sunsets at Echo Lodge, grandpa's lair. You have used your colours of orange and red really well for this contest. Good luck with it,
cheers.

Comment from karenina
If this isn't a contender I'd be surprised. Very nicely penned. Your use of reddish, gold, molten-red, and orange is perfectly chosen to be reflective of the image selected. Rhyming the second and fourth lines of each stanza stitched this together beautifully. Lovely!

I am so pleased you enjoyed my use of color in this poem, karenina. I felt I was painting the scene, not writing it.

Ah, word-painting! My favorite!
(Now if only my muse would agree to assist!)
