Ferns are special to me as I see them in midday loving the aspects of the woods that are both dawn and dusk. They strike me as loving a certain color temperature. I enjoyed this poem and if I could only be allowed to bask. There is only one thing that I would ask...

This poem has your usual warmth to it. I like the first line allot. While sunshine's warmth and radiance. Very discriptive as usual. You have an unusual talent, and you are very versatile.

    Tell me the title of the poem you just wrote so I can look at it after church if you've posted it. :-) Right now, I'm off. Thanks so much, Brooke

    Blow the dust off. I wrote it specifically for this site. It is not something I would have written if I hadn't found this site. I came here in part to explore different types of writing. I have always wanted to be able to write novels but I lack the discipline to complete them. I am a "get to the point" kind of a guy, which, I think is why song writing appeals so much to me.

Great job Brooke.

My only comment would be that maybe on the last line a comma before and after 'by light" would pace that line nicely.

Anyway, a very nice and peaceful interlude. I think we need the shade sometimes, without it we would never enjoy the warmth of the sun anywhere near as much.

This is so simple yet so eloquent. And I love it's truth. We're sometimes drawn to the sun like magnet to metal. Our bodies must need that vitamin , I think it's D. I love your poem and love to read your work. Thanks for sharing with us

I loved this positive and bright outlook on the bad days we all have, Brooke. I always appreciate the best days maybe a little more having endured the difficult ones.

I must confess, that I do not know the definition of bade. I even looked it up and it gave no definition.Does it mean bad? I enjoyed your poem but, I feel a tiny bit slighted. Tony

    it is the poetic or archaic past tense of bid it's just saying the light is bidding me You haven't heard a sentence like "He bade me goodnight" or "He bade me give him his hand?"
    Thanks, Brooke

I like the rhyme and tone of this poem, and as always, appreciate you word selection. The vocabulary you employ is precise and perfect for the message. It's good to be in the light, but important to step back and gather one's self, before going forward again. Very well done,
Eric
