Describe a sunset without using any colours that relate to the listed words. You must use metaphors and descriptions that reflect them, but not use the words for these colours.
A Sunset Is
A sunset is a beautiful thing. It looks like tangerines and strawberries and mangos and lemons. Like roses and poppies and daisies and dandelions.
It sounds like a chorus of melodies carried by the wind. Like the rustling of leaves and the singing of birds nesting for nightfall.
It smells like a bakery with freshly baked bread. Like citrus and sugar, with a slight bit of salt.
It feels like holding a warm cup of cocoa on a cold winter’s night. Like a soft fur blanket or a smooth leather jacket.
Sunsets are beautiful, no matter how you describe them. I dare you to change my mind.
