as dusk departs and night arrives,
i’m caught up in a mythological moment,
aphrodite falls for apollo, right before my eyes.
indescribable, I know I’d only blow it,
so I sit back with a defeated laugh.
left wondering, where might I find myself a poet,
who could write of a sunset like that?
BEAUTIFULLY written!! You’ve caught it:)

A sunset and poetry that Aphrodite and Apollo would envy ~ brilliant writing and emotion. It is always difficult to say that this is your best piece of work, as it depends on the mood and feel, but this poem I would have to say one of your best pieces of work. “who could write of a sunset like that?” well, I think we all just found the answer to that question. You cover just about every human emotion here that I find so inspiring: awe, myths, dreams, humor and humility. Cheers ~ a perfect way to start the week!

Dalo, sometimes I think you go on about me in hopes that I’ll run into those photographer arms of yours and cover you with kisses. Starting from the top of your cowboy hat and down to your boots…oops. We’re not alone, are we? *straightens your collar* *giggle*
The idea of Aphrodite and Apollo being envious of my poetry is not only baffling, but it is also a huge impossibility. The only thing I have in common with the likes of them is the letter A. I can’t even wrap my head around your compliment. Can I keep you? I am soooo not the poet for the job, but I love being the poet you think qualifies.Β And to think I just thought this poem was a laughable admission to my inferior feelings towards writing this sunset. My hope was to make someone laugh. Or agree. Better yet, to offer to write for me. I’m left now waiting for you to write for me. As only you can.Β
(I hope this comment might leave you have as happy as you leave me. Thanks for stopping in and filling my bucket, Dalo. Astronomers could chart my glow from miles away. This comment of your rallies every one before. They just keep getting better. Humbled by you, Dalo.)
We’re similar, you and I, my Photographer Philosopher Extraordinaire. I’d have it no other way. If I’ve captured what inspires you, then I’m left to ponder, all over again the beauty of Β ηΌε (yuan-fen). Thank you for your visit tonight. Always. (Now go be flirty somewhere else before I start believing you! π Seriously? My best? You should read this again…after the Audacious affects have worn off. You’ll see I’m just simply a dream. And this poem…smile worthy. xx) By the looks of this comment…I’ve rambled. Look at how pathetic I am. LOL Not quite ready for you to sneak away, it seems. Thanks again for spending your precious time with my poetry. Give Hong Kong’s next sunset a nod from me. π
