Baby blue fading
into darkening violet
layered with
plush looking pink
white clouds aloft
wispy and dwindling
the blue sky above
still barely lit
for the hazy sun
has not yet exited
by dipping below
the steady horizon
one last display
of pastel colors
before night pulls
her dark cloak
over the painted sky.

So, the inspo photos don’t match the poem description ENTIRELY, but they DID inspire this poem when we were driving through Utah on our way to California in December 2025 and made me think of other sunsets I’ve seen. The photos were taken in Utah by yours truly on my Android phone.
