On a paprika and saffron sky
Subdued by vanilla clouds
We bid the zest of day good-bye

Time to savor a lush lullaby
Dispersed are imposing crowds
On a paprika and saffron sky
Subdued by vanilla clouds.

  1. Nicely done, Susan! I love the phrase ‘the zest of day’ and yes, I have often bidden it goodbye. Great use of repetition.

  2. Lovely triolet, Susan. Such beautiful descriptions–and is that your photo?
    “zest of day” stood out for me, too. Thank you for joining in!

  3. Such a lovely triolet, Susan! I especially like the image of; “vanilla clouds.” 💘💘

  4. Wonderful the way you wove in the spices Susan — fine write! 👍🏼🙂✌🏼

  5. The imagery of a “paprika and saffron sky” deserved repeating in this pretty triolet but it was this line that made me pause…..”Time to savor a lush lullaby” . Sometimes it just is.

Tell me something good...
