'I Issued an Invitation' is an extremely well-written and entertaining piece. The Sun definitely has her own agenda. It was a pleasure to both read and review this talented poet's work.

This poem really struck a chord in my heart. The beauty of the cycles of night and day, ... and the author well brings this out, in a beautiful use of personification. I so enjoyed reviewing this. The rhyme and rhythm are very complementary as is the picture. Good luck in the contest and Bright Blessings! ~ pat :)

Dear Brooke,

The radiant sun all decked out in a coat of golden light dazzles everyone. Always superb rhyming and flow and an excellent picture for high lighting this poem.

Warm regards,

I love sunshine and only recently developed a liking for rain. This wonderfully rhymed poem give personhood to Earth's greatest star. A fun rhyme.

I may be a newbie,(Less than 48 hours), but I know what I like in Poetry. I haven't figured out much about this site but I believe I have found friends who not only get my work but like it. I have never shown anything I have written outside of close friends and family. B U T . . . My purpose is to rate "I Issued an Invitation" This Poem is so flawless from beginning to end. It starts with the title and tells us a story succinctly and cleanly. There is nothing superfluous or contrived in it: Boom, Boom, Bam! I will be following you!

Very clever poem with the perfect choice of picture. "I'll try to come tomorrow." She can never promise, since she doesn't control the clouds. :)

Since you and Sun are so close
Would you mind asking
For a month long basking
Not extra hot, just a healthy dose
Enough to keep the coolness at bay
For a little while longer

Well done, Buck
