Sunset

I am sunset

You know me for my beautiful sky colors

I live for a few hours

My best friend is the sun

Because she makes my colors visible

I fear night

Because it steals the thing I call life

I love water

Because it is my mirror

I wish for everyone to admire me

    Ben,

    This is beautiful! I really like poetry and I think this is fabulous. I really liked the line, “I live for a few hours” is GREAT! I had never thought about it that way.

    Thanks for sharing this great piece of work!

    sorry ben I just found out that you can’t go on to my blog so I put it right here



    Stars
    Like glittering candles in the night.
    Wish on the first one you see.
    Like the shimmer in your eye.
    Flieing across the sky.
    Next to the moon.
    As the sun comes out.
    They start to fade.
    Waiting for you the next night.

    Dear Ben,
    Your poem is awesome! I love the line ‘I fear night because it steals something I call life’ I thought that an expert poet wrote that at first! I hope to read some more of your beautiful, over the top vocab, and expert poetry!
