Very uplifting poem, Portia.
Great photo by google to accompany it.

Beautiful sunset (It certainly is, and Free gift of God to us.)
slowly slopes in the darkness (Love your description here.)
all heaven lights up (Thank God! Blots our Satan's darkness.)
guiding reflective colors (No wonder they are so beautiful.)
shines light on the Creator (MY FAVORITE LINE!)

Thanks Portia, for brightening my day since it is now beginning.

A true tanka poem and it will do well. The alliteration really sets it off. And, you don't forget who to give credit for this glorious moment. Nice going. I will be voting! Bill

Lovely piece of poetry Pharp. The alliteration you used was great and I agree with your sentiments that God is an awesome Creator who brings beauty to our world. Reminds me of Psalm 24 " The world is the Lord's and everything in it." Keep up the great work.

Pharp: what a beautiful sunset and message of God for the nations. You used alliteration with sunset, slowly slopes and shines. All the Glory goes to God, our creator! The beauty shines in the sky with the master's hands of the paint brush.
This should be the top winner! Well written, my friend. flylikeaneagle

(Thank you so much for your friendship and prayers!)

Very nice and so true. We can learn so much about our creator by looking at the wonders of nature around us. A sunset is stunning and can teach us so much.
Well done and all the best in the competition. :)
