Hi, Brooke. As usual, this is a very beautiful poem. I enjoyed reading it, and I liked the way it rhymed. It also goes very well with the picture. :o) April

Your chosen words just paint a beautiful sunset.
I like the flow of the 8/7/8/7 syllable count.
Nice use of alliteration with 'won't waste' and 'before a blaze'.

I adore this. The idea of shelving the sun, even for a brief time, is fresh, lively, and works.
Your art, your word choice, and the cadence of the words makes this easy to remember, easy to enjoy.

Where do you get your ideas from, Brooke? You ahve such a clever way of looking at things! And then converting that simple idea into a well structured poem with good continuity of theme. Beautiful cadence as always. Very uplifting. Thanks - Cally :)))

Dear Brooke,
I thought the concept of the day closing up her shop was very fresh and putting the sun on a shelf, but having it refuse to stay till was also different. I thought this was a unique approach to a very well-worn theme. Great job!
