Chasing Sunsets
Chasing Sunsets
144 miles to Amarillo
14 dead armadillos
and counting…
Sun-scorched,
faded, painted
road lines
Back sweat drench
I maintain speed
in my ’88 Corvette
chasing sunsets
pink and blue hues
I head west
as darkness sets
in my rearview mirror.

Succinct with nice imagery Valerie. Well done.
Nicely penned, Valerie. I can just see that ’88 Corvette sailing along out there. Well done.
I love this , Lately I’ve been doing a lot of that, chasing sunsets , living on the road and traveling the west . Been in NM lately and I still find the amounts of beautiful sunsets amazing , coming from new England we never saw so many with all the cloudy days .
Nice writing !…….Ed
Loved this Valerie. As a nature photographer I chase sunsets and once I capture them on film I realize that each and every one is beautifully different.
