She invites us to think of a recent memory where we were “in nature” and write a poem that highlights the three colors from our memory. You can read Brittany’s full prompt here.
All the Colors of Sunset
what do you call the shade of sunset?
sometimes it’s 14-carat gold
other times, it’s tangerine
or pink cotton candy
sunflower yellow
or lilac storm
….the best nights,
ruby
red
Common Threads 
Your choice of sunset pushed me to choose sunrise. I am still out of town and becoming out of sorts, needing to be at home. Your poem sends me to the comfort of pink cotton candy and sunflower yellow. Thanks!
