Fortunately we are a sphere that revolves so it is us who see that the sun or others stars at the beginning and end of each day. Actually the sun revolves around us and the world is flat like a shelf. A lot of people have tried to prove that this is right.

You just made my day. I loved this poem and want to give you a six but FS says no. I so don't like playing by these rulles. XXXXXX As close to six stars as I can ge.

Hi, Brooke. I'd like to shop in the couple's shop! This is so imaginative, Brooke, it makes me smile while enjoying your lines and rhymes. I bet Rags Auggie would feel the same with me. And yes, it is a glorious photo of sunset.

Your version of the vibrantly strong sun is my idea of his overpowering presence that will not be "consigned to shelves designed for storing. Excellent imagery in this one and of course, the flawless rhythm and rhyme I so love. Exceptional - if only I had six stars to give you. Blessings, Linda

This is a beautiful poem and the gorgeous picture only compliments the work. It is ture that sun does not waste upon the shelf, because when the sun set here tonight, it will rise somewhere else. I enjoyed this.

This was fabulous Brooke. It actually cheered me up too!

I have to get my butt off the shelf:) I really loved your imagery and how you created this around a "shop" idea. I loved it, great lyrical quality my friend.

Thanks for sharing.
Maureen

This is a different look at night and day. The image of day opening and closing shop is an interesting perspective. Nicely written.

Beautiful story of a beautiful sunset. I just found outyou are a teacher. No wonder your poems are so good. I love to watch the sunsets at night, I am visiting in Phoenix and they are lovely here. Don't see much at home in Washington, too many tall trees!

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is just beautiful. Some of the best poetry I have read.
Splendid work that sings the song of beauty.

Day closes up her shop each night
but opens up each morning,
for Sun cannot be long consigned
to shelves designed for storing.

This is my favorite verse, though picking one was difficult...the whole thing is so perfect. I so admire your skills.
