Blood orange dripped from the sky as the water lapped eagerly at its jagged edges. Songs from the night creatures serenaded the sun’s descent from the sky. The horizon willingly swallowed it whole.

Written for the weekend Trifextra Challenge: give us a thirty-three word piece that has a color in it. Use the color to describe anything you like, or use anything you like to describe your color, but keep it creative and keep it short.

Powerful image to begin with! There is just something about the colour and the name of a blood orange.
Just a wee note that I think you meant to use the word ‘descent’ in the second sentence.
Nicely done :))
Thank you for that….I had changed it, but it didn’t save the change. Fixed! And thanks for the comment. 🙂
Now that’s a sunset!
Was there an adirondack chair to view it from?
Absolutely!! And a glass of wine to sip while water conquered fire. 🙂

You know you are welcome any time!! I’ll pull up two more chairs. 🙂
This was an amazing piece.
Thank you very much. 🙂
I love the imagery of the horizon swallowing the sun whole. Erotic in an innocent way.
Thank you!
Very vivid–and I love that last line: “The horizon willingly swallowed it whole.” Beautiful.
I appreciate that – thank you.
Very poetic scene!
Thanks!
Beautiful imagery!
Thank you so much.
This is an awesome sunset description.
Thank you. 🙂
This is beautiful. There’s just something about sunsets…
One of my favorite things!
