This short, colorful poem, Island Interlude, really does create a 'sensual sunset' that brings in these selected shades bid goodnight to the day. Nice.

A very well-written Tanka about the beautiful described colors we can see and enjoy over the ocean at sunset. An excellent picture to complement your poem.

In a few words you incorporated the colors into a magical experience. Most of the entries don't know what short is. You nailed it. You topped your words with a beautiful picture. You got my vote.

    Thank you! I was a bit confused by the lengthy entries. I wanted to share an experience, not a short story! I appreciate your positive feedback!

Your use of the literary technique of alliteration will draw the reader in and get them experientially involved. The repetition of s's especially effects the sizzle sound. Well orchestrated.

This is a great picture to add words to.
The colors are a nice contrast, and your words do justice to it.
Even the border color is a nice choice.
Good luck in the contest.

Hello anonymous

Great entry for the Short and Colorful writing prompt contest. You followed the rules well and covered more than two colors. The presentation is beautiful.

I like the sunset colors, great imagery.

Both artwork and words emphasize your colorful poem. Your descriptions for sunset, skies, and waters are most expressive.

Please consider adding a space before your hyphen in the first line.

Best wishes in the future voting.

a beautiful image to go with this poem, good just of words in such a short poem you manage to convey the magic and beauty of colour.

Natures colours are the best

Good luck in the competition
