I thought this a nice little tale very well written piece, not hard to follow at all. I think you should use the H on his good picture and good message should resonate with many no errors. No typo's

Very nice, I really like this piece and the artwork you selected was made for this piece. Each line really adds to this piece. I like the first line "Day closes up her shop each night to take her inventory." It pulled me in right away. Great poem; great flow. Thanks for sharing.

Nice personification of the sun and images of sunset. I like the metaphor of the sun being stored at night. Sometimes it seems like that during the weeks of cloudy weather. I also like the crimson ink as if it is just a drawing and not real.

The words echo the artwork well.

Keep writing

I love the art work and words written here Brooke.
I like sunny days but not everyday.
I burn very easily but love to see the sun shine.
We would be lost without the sun
Very hot days I don't like as I burn easily.
The very hot days fires tend to start up somewhere.

And, after all, it's sunlight
That will make the flowers grow
And, without flowers
Where would she be?
A certain gal I know.

With only the kindest thoughts

The personification of Day and Sun is awesome! The repeating of Day closes up her shop makes the poem succinct and tidy...the introduction and summary lends well and reiterates the opening of the shop each morning and night. I love the alternating rhyme of each second and fourth line. Great image of the Sun signing his name in crimson, as well as a great allusion to Christ! Also, I love the idea that Day has a store, and the Sun is its hottest commodity that cannot remain on the shelves. And the picturesque, breath-taking view of the sun rising each day is extraordinary! As always, you have done a splendid job at staying true to form and providing us with another great work of poetry!

Beautiful poem!

The personification is wonderful here. The distinction between the day (the shopkeeper) and the sun (a temperamental ware) creates a lovely, drama.

The third stanza's description is simply breathtaking!

Great job. :D
