Sunset Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Sunset

Rating: 5.0


Golden rust horizon
marks the sinking sun
The mountains are touched
by a crimson shower
of departing glimmer
The fiery glow is dying
in the western sky
to disappear
in the black mystery
of the night.

Well done. Now I would have added an observer even if the observer was an animal. Something that links sentient life to the beauty you describe.

Hi Nosheen, golden rust horizon marks the sinking sun Fantastic image, bringing out the nature's extravaganza in full. Reminding me of a shloka from Kumaara Sambhavam by the great Kaalidasa: Noonam unnamati yajwanam pati Sharwarasya thamaso nishiddhaye Pundareekamukhi, poorva dingmukham Kaithakairiva rajobhiraavrutham (Original Sanskrit version) Shiv tells Parvathi, I am sure, moon is rising. The eastern horizon looks as if sprayed with the golden dust of Ketaka flower. I have to change 'Kaalidasa' in the ancient Indian saying, Upama Kalidaasasya to 'Nosheen Irfan'.
