This work is charming and sentimental (in a non saccharine way). I found myself smiling half way through the read. Clearly the effects of reading from a talented poet. I found nothing to adjust or correct in the writing. Overall a very nice read.

Dear Brooke,

For if the sun was shelved it would be a disaster. In times of old the sun represented God, He who brought life to us here so we could continue.

Warm regards,

Winslow

What an awesome concept to compare day and night to the opening and closing of a shop. I loved it and all its imagery and simplicity. As always you have done an outstanding job!!!!

I think this poem has great wording, a nice picture and color scheme. I've read through it several times and I'm not sure if I truly understand. I also think it's a poem that you can take it for face value or you can dive deep into a hidden meaning. I like that you have sort of given the readers the freedom to do so, poetry is just as much about how readers read it as how writers write it. I think I am getting caught up in the line "He signs his name in crimson ink" and the word proclamation in the line below it. I feel like those words portray the hidden meaning I was curious about. Especially from reading your more religion based poetry in the past. Great job!

Nice piece...love the rhyme and the message. Regardless of what we do , God is still in control. Sometimes we think we are but that is an illusion in itself. We can't keep one single thing from happening. But we can go to God with our pleas and he can decide to answer them, that is what he is so awesome!

You write so graceful that your poem just draws the reader right into the verse.
I could almost visualize the shelf, where the sun was sitting.
Breath taking sunset picture, we lived on lake Huron and use to watch the sunsets, no two the same.

Very enjoyable. Frankeddy.
