The Sky ABlaze



The candle dances in the breeze,
Along with all its friends;
It dances and sways along with the trees.
The orange flame starts to ascent,

Up, up to the air,
Everyone starts to stare,
And soon the flame meets the sky,
The orange gold stretches far and wide,
The vibrant flame starts to fuse to the empyrean
And then, all at once, the other flames joined in too
Painting streaks across the plain, deep blue
They called it a sunset, and it was a beauty too.

About this poem

The Sky Ablaze is simply about sunsets. It describes how I view sunsets, and how it seems as if the sky is on fire.

For a few years I lost interest and stopped, but then one day I came across a poetry book and started reading it. My love for poetry grew. A few day later, I sat down on my desk, with my window wide open, and my candles lit, and decided to write a poem. I used my surroundings as inspiration, I wrote poetry about what I love. I wrote whatever came to mind. And I loved it. I love poetry for all the words sound melodious. And reading poetry aloud with the breeze blowing upon my face, outside with nature, gives me such thrill. And not just reading it, but also writing it more…
