Sunset--Goodbye poem — Original Poetry and Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson ©2015

NaPoWriMo–Day 30—For the last day of NaPoWriMo 2015 we were challenged to write a poem backwards. I took the last poem I wrote for NaPoWriMo 2014, (Adieu to April) wrote it backwards, and then rewrote it to make sense. It originally was a Nonet and the rewritten form is an Etheree.
