“sunset in a cup”

Written for:  The Twiglets #288 - sunset in a cup


Into my cupped hands
indigo and rose nestled.


If I could drink
a cup of sunset
it would taste
like rainbow sherbet.


she studies her hands
sprinkled with vibrant colors
as the sun sets


           She marvels at every sunrise,
       for him, sunsets are where beauty lies.
             Morning person is she,
         twilight time brings him glee
        Afternoons serve as a compromise.

    I love the image of indigo and rose nestled in cupped hands. Made me want to go get out the special tea cups and curl up with a good cup of tea.

    I always enjoy and relate to your verses.
    The limerick can fit many a good couple; compromise is key 🙂
