adewpearl--A captivating personification of nature's
inevitableness. I enjoyed the entire read, especial-
ly;

"...Sun cannot be long consigned
to shelves designed for storing."

Also, for me, definitive internal rhymes "consigned/
designed" are noteworthy for "Day Closes Up Her Shop."
The artwork is a personable complement as well. teafor2

Another beautiful write incorporating (and personifying LOL) the morning star. It's hard to believe that she'll only be around for another 5 billion years or so.

This was almost haiku-like in that it reveals a side of nature that we often don't consider and enlightens (no pun intended LOL) us to the world around us.

Excellent write, Brooke. A pleasure to read, as always.

I reviewed this a few moments ago but apparently it didn't take so I'm doing it again (I'm new to his site). Anyway, I really enjoyed your poem. It was gentle yet vivid and the rhyming kept it flowing in a nice way.

He signs his name in crimson ink
until the skies are burning,
a proclamation to us all
his light is soon returning.

Brilliant... a Brooke poem
which not only flows and rhymes
perfectly, but paints a picture
for the reviewers to enjoy...

A real pleasure to open up to, my friend.
Not able to give it a six...
