  This poem is absolutely beautiful with vivid, colorful imagery and incredible word choices that help the reader imagine a breathtaking sunset at a peaceful beach. Your language use and rhythmic meter complement each other and this in turn enhances the mood of serenity and beauty throughout the poem. Your use of metaphors, such as "painting the azure canvas" and the personification "Nothing can stop the sun rising again" are also particularly noteworthy and add a sophisticated depth to the piece.
  
  There's an elegance to the way you've embodied the ebbing of the day, linking it closely to the natural rhythms of the town and its inhabitants. The combination of color description supports the tranquil atmosphere you've created and the progression of time from day to night.
  
  As for improvement, there's not a whole lot to suggest since it is quite well-written. One slight change might be to consider more concrete imagery. While you've done a great job in painting the broad strokes of the scene, focusing a little more on specific, tangible details might help the reader to better visualize the picture you’re trying to paint. For example, describe specific details about the sunset or the objects and life present at the beach.
  
  You might also want to balance the level of abstraction with more direct statement or action, to make the transitions smoother between different parts of the poem. But of course, these are suggestions stemming from personal preference, your poem is nevertheless a pure delight as it stands. Keep up the fabulous work! more »
