I love this one, Brooke! "Day closes up her shop each night... but Sun won't waste upon some shelf before a blaze of glory."
Wow, now that is beautiful! :D
Always a pleasure to read your writes.

Beautiful photo by RagsAuggie and lovely poem about the sun. The sun is only kidding us when she claims to close shop. She really sneaks around to the other side of the earth. pnkglo

Comment from Maustin
I absolutely love this piece. Amazing responsibilities defined for a Son and Day. Excellent arrangement. I wish that I was allowed to give you another six. So, I give you a virtual 6. Recommended read. Enjoyed.

Comment from Raul GF
This is unique way and it really expresses how a poet should find a way to look at life as if our eyes were those of a child who is seeing everything for the first time.

Comment from judiverse
I love the rhyme and flow of this, Brooke. What a wonderful image of day closing up shop at end of day and opening again in the morning. Your word choices like shelf and taking inventory add to the analogy. It's a very original idea and you carry it out beautifully. The picture of the sun signing his name in crimson ink is great. That is a wonderful photo of the sunset, and helps the reader see the color in your poem. judi

I love everything about this outstanding poem--the form, the rhythm, the rhyme, the subject matter. As always, you've created a marvelous poem. (Wish I knew how you do this so consistently.)

Comment from Bellringer
Brook, Very thoughtful and inspirational quatrains with smooth lines and rhyme. You cleverly allow the reader to consider his/her day, "take inventory," and remember that tomorrow's another day with new possibilities. I can also feel a touch of Easter and resurrection in this one. Blessings, Hector

Comment from Martie
Hello Brooke
Lovely poem about the sun closing down the day. Interesting to me that you called the sun a "he". I guess I always thought of sunshine as feminine. So happy that Sun comes back each day as it is so necessary for so many things. Wonderful how that works, isn't it?

Martie, thank you so very much for your thoughtful review - while the Sun is characterized in literature as both genders, it is more often characterized as male as in brother sun/ sister moon. Brooke

Awww...yes, I understand. :)
