Twilight Tableau

 PAD Prompt 29: For today's prompt, write an evening poem. 

The rush of morning-tide to dusk softens its color-show

The artist picks a velvet brush to paint twilight’s tableau

With coral hues and purple-blues, and periwinkle tulle

The edges of the earth are tucked beneath night’s crepuscule

With kiss and hug he bids each sleepy fledgling sweet goodnight

Then dabs a curve of silver, crescent moon as a nightlight
