Tango Sunset

This evening's sunset
casts shadows across my feet,
dancing the tango

Lovely!

I've recently moved to a farm up the west coast of South Africa where the sunsets are just...different to the city - way more open & wild & colourful (my pic on my profile is the sunset from my back porch). I'm sitting at work in the city & your poem reminded me of that. Deep contented sigh! Jo

Suggestion ...

An evening sunset casts shadows across my feet, dancing the tango becomes more immediate, more now, I think, if altered to This evening's sunset casts shadows across my feet, dancing the tango For your consideration. And thanx, Chuck
