Comment from J.Byers
I liked the use of imagery and metaphor in this poem, it flowed well and the rhyming was excellent, not forced. I could see 'Day' as an older woman with grey hair trying to force the gleaming sun into a box. I know your poem is not meant to be interpreted literally, but this is an image I have taken from it. Well done.
Blessings,
~ J.

Each day is likened to a shop where our "Transactions" decide if it is prfitable, or not. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.

Comment from Patrick G Cox
Hi Brooke,
Thanks for the lovely image of the close of the day and the promise it brings of refreshment and renewal in preparation for the next.
As usual you paint quite an image with your words.
I hope you have a happy and blessed Easter. I trust all is still well with the expected grandchild?

A fine little verse about the inexorable presence of the sun. Our giver of life and incessant marker of time in a poetic allusion to God's creation. We are not abandoned! Wonderfully presented, and subtle enough for universal appreciation.

A very nice personification of the sun. It is a great picture that lends itself nicely to your work. It's after midnight here so I'd best be going to bed (his light is soon returning) Good stuff. Bill

I loved this poem and the picture that you chose. The imagery was captivating. "Day closes up her shop each night", is just lovely wording.
