“Sunset,” New Era, Feb 2001

I used to write a lot of poetry. I still do, but I write it just for me.
In this case, I shared it with the New Era, who purchased it when I was much younger, then waited until 2001 to publish it. They bought a second poem from me a year before but to my knowledge, they have never published it. I have only submitted something to the New Era those two times.

God painted me a sky today.
He used blues, whites, reds, and greens.
Yesterday He used purples too.
I guess
God is an artist
who likes to experiment with perfection.
