I watched the sun set again last night...

Watched the sun set again last night
No two can ever be the same
Apricot plum skies set aflame
striking the sea in filtered light
as the crescent cove welcomed night 
electric clouds lined in neon's frame                              

 Mirrored rainbows touched down became                               
sun's hide and seek bouncing ball game
tinted canyons' metallic sight
Watched the sun set again last night 

 The skyline's fine art states it's claim
pats of light buttered wild to tame
by Nature's own palette knife
curled waves of silver secrets bright
how earth's green mansions gained their fame 

Watched the sunset again last night

                                                                                                                                  We are asked by Tony at   dversepoets.com   to write a Rondeau poem, it's rhyming going thusly:  3 stamzas  Refrain-aabba, aabRefrain, aabbaRefrain

    This is just a wonderful theme for a Rondeau--the repetition works so well for this repeated (but as you say endlessly varied and changing) activity and sight. The poem has a very smooth in-and-out and its own mirroring effect. Thanks. k.

    What a beautiful scene to watch - the sun set ~ I specially like the colors, apricot plum skies & mirrored rainbows ~ I can watch it again & again ~ Good work on the form too ~

    What a lovely slant on the form, and I love the combination of the sunset and the work of art through their colour mix. So original in concept for Nature and Art combined.

    Fabulous - and thanks for reposting; I would hate to have missed this. I love the theme/variation that you have taken as your subject for the rondeau - it's such a clever way to use the form. You've met all the rules for the rondeau and produced a wonderful lyrical poem.

    Curled waves of silver secrets--beautiful line, and a beautiful rondeau. Excellent work!

    Gosh. Do you get to see this again and again? Your images rock. Nature is quite a painter, ball player, and electric conductor.

    This is so well done. Reminds me of the Ian Tyson song about the artist Charlie Russell. Well done!
