Comment from Poetic, Just Is.
This is lovely. The personification of Day and Sun is quite touching...
I loved all the visuals it gave me... like what "Day" would look like... with its fluffy clouds... etc,
and what Sun would look like, with it's fire, and flames, and heat...
It's full of imagery unstated... but implied.
I loved it.
Well done.

Very fun poem about day turning to night. I enjoyed the personification-love the use of Day and that she is like a shop owner-very cute and creative way to show us this change. Very cool-Sun signing his name with the red in the sky-love that! Beautiful picture. Excellent work. Dana

Stunning picture and your poem is wonderful in its imagery and delightful personification. Right now I'm looking at a most glorious moon, and can't decide if I like the sun from your poem or the moon outside my patio door better.
Smiles,

Comment from Zombie's Woof
Hi-
Yes, and after that, night opens up her
pizzeria... in fact, this poem made me quite
hungry for pizza and also thirst for a cold
beer to wash it down.
Excellent work! ZW

Brooke,
This is an excellent poem about how the sun just won't stay disregarded for long. I enjoyed this post and couldn't find anything to criticize.

Comment from shy1250
Okay, that was just plain sneaky, not letting me give you 6's any more--although I see your point, since ALL your work merits a 6! Color me pea-green--particularly liked your capitalization of Sun, anyone who's ever laid out to tan can figure out exactly why people used to worship it. Suggestions? Corrections? pul-eeezze!! later and God bless, shy

And I thank God for that, for the sun is the one thing that I enjoy always. I am not a sun worshiper, but I do recognize how precious a gift it really is.
Your poem is wonderful, the rhythm and flow is just about perfect. As I read it I did not have to stop and search for the beat or the flow, it was always on point right till the end. Great job.

Hi Brooke again! Very very beautiful and my gawd let me in your brain will you please. LOL... I read this one to my husband cause it was just so amazing in my opinion. You have such strong images that without effort the mind instantly creates the scene play by play. Well done Brooke. You truly are an inspiration, and sometimes I get so discouraged too, thinking I will never be able to write like that.

I liek the theme here of the sun returning. You have created the sun and night as characters that return each day. Excellent flow and use of words.
