Haentjens, 9A4 SUNSET ON BISCAYNE BAY The tropics, palm trees, and a sunset. Warm, gentle breezes, caressing each A flaming ribbon of gold, lonely white grain of sand, Shimmering across a wide expanse 0f While far out to sea, a vessel, its white blue water, sails billowing, Leading up to a ball of molten fire. Glides to its berth. F antastic designs, . Thrown upon the sand by the swaying Nowhere can one find a more beauti- palms. ful, a more exotic sight, A myriad of colors, Than sunset on Biscayne Bay. Given off from the pink and coral shells. Robert Birns, 9B3 T H E S P E C T A T 0 R o$nzoo Page Thirty-three
