There' nothing like watching a sunset with the one you love. Your poem reflects this beautifully. It also raises the question is the person alone for now or always. Great poem, good luck in the contest.

I can identify with your words here as I have felt those feelings, I wish you luck with the contest, so few words to work with and you managed to make them powerful, love Dolly x

    I identify with them too. Heartbreak usually comes with one sort of regret or another. Thank you for reviewing.

The words in the poem make the meaning filled with loneliness. Evidently you viewed many sunsets with your loved one. Sunsets are wonderful to watch; the beauty which God creates is very special.

Oh, how sad. What a lament. So many emotions expressed in so few words. Your poem created a vivid image and evoked a feeling of loneliness. A beautifully crafted poem.

A tiny poem, but so huge in sentiment and skill. I was touched and wanted to give this one my vote just because it was beautiful and sad and also beautifully presented. I will read all the rest of them first, but so far, this is the one. MM

This is a good 2-6-2 poem. The text is and okay size but could be larger. The entire poem box needs to be larger. I like it centered because it is more prominent. The message is brief but clearly stated. It is still also poetic. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for the lovely review. I know my visuals are not always perfect, but I think the words should count more than the "font' size.
reply by Sandra Nelms-Ludwig on 20-Jan-2023
    I agree, but larger font size make more folks engage with your text. There are many senior writers and readers on this site. My 68-year-old eyes appreciate the consideration. You are welcome.

    Just so you know. I am almost 75. Hugs and love.

    You have been blessed to live so long. Perhaps your grandkids can show you some things. I too didn't grow-up with a computer. You are welcome.

Wonderful entry for the 2-6-2 writing prompt contest.
Good syllables count and connection between lines.
Excellent satori with a delightful juxtaposition.
I love the imagery and presentation.

Good luck in the contest.

Lovely presentation! And I like that you rhymed the two short lines so that they have more of an impact. The sun setting shows the end of something, perhaps the relationship that the poet regrets.
Best wishes in the contest!

This is lovely. Wonderfully written sentiment of regret that infers an unwritten declaration of love. The image helps convey a warm feeling to eyes & soul. The whole package proves that sometimes less is more. Great job. Good luck!

Perfectly fit to syllable structure telling a sad story.

Best of luck in the contest.
