sunset (an etheree)

by Sophia Grace

Dusk;
She sits
quietly
with the lights off.
The shadows drift from
gold and orange, through red and
come to rest at dusky plum
before settling into thick,
liquid black. Inhale, exhale the stars
into constellations. At last, she dreams.

Author's Note: Apparently, an etheree (a 10-line poem of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 syllables). When I have trouble putting words on paper, I find that giving myself a defined form helps immensely.

Your word selections and images are a great fit for the form. You have great diversity in your work--many strengths.
