The Sunset

The sky was as red as a raspberry,a giant orange sun shrinking behind the hills.
The sea was calm, like a big blue blanket.
The trees stood tall, like soldiers awaiting orders.
The hills rose into the dark sky, like sleeping monsters.
All was quiet, except for the gentle whooshing of the sea.
It was a beautiful sunset in Omaha.
