Today's prompt from Robert Lee Brewer: Write an "exaggeration" poem. I interpreted the prompt by exaggerating the images and metaphor a bit in this poem - not sure how well that works, but here it is. (It's also a nod to November sunsets, which in my opinion seem to be the most intense of the whole year.)
End of Day
sunset -
nuclear explosion
in the west
sky
ablaze in
red, purple, blue
blood-orange
ball slips
behind the mountain
firestorm
subsides, wavelengths
disappear in shadow
the world ends
till tomorrow morning
nuclear explosion
in the west
ablaze in
red, purple, blue
ball slips
behind the mountain
subsides, wavelengths
disappear in shadow
till tomorrow morning
