Sunset
calligraphic swirls
paints the western horizon
scarlet poetry
Anxiety
worry clobbers deep
conquers pragmatic mindset
the present succumbs
Introspection
sounds of solitude
conversation with the soul
rejuvenation
Rage
fractious tendency
emotional servitude
diabolic mien
Blossom
an ombre palette
iridescent redolence
floral burgeon blooms
Poetry
visceral feelings
lyrical tapestry
inky confluence
