This is a beautiful poem and the imagery is as breathtaking as the artwork that you chose to accompany it! I like the 8/7/8/7 rhyme scheme.

Hello, Brooke.
Love it! Love it! This is such fun to read, and very uplifting. Seems like we'll have a bit more sunshine here for a while. I like the message that the world turns every 24 hours. Such an important one to remember whether on the top of things or on the bottom.
Warmly, Rebecca

Beautiful personification in your
quatrains, Brooke.
And lovely images - I love "He signs his
name in crimson ink until the skies are burning." evoking images of glorious red sunsets.
Strong rhyme and meter and a pleasing picture to add to the piece. Nancy

You have captured the sense of nature been our keeper of light.In regards that the sun switches the day on like a light switch.This is truly a thoughtful poem and I've enjoyed the lift it gave me.It makes you want to be awakened daily by that orangey glow.It is true that when the sun shines we all smile.
I thank you for your moving poem.

The personification is creative and original. I never thought of day like that but your poem creates the promise of a new day. It's very enlightening.

Brooke, the way you captured the short moments of sunrise and sunset with these Quatrains is spectacular. Your words create a wonderful sense of personification in the form of imagery and metaphor. I enjoyed this one alot. Well done and thanks for sharing. Take care adam:)

Comment from barkingdog
The sun sitting on a shelf waiting to rise is a comical picture. I see him reluctantly signing off 'in crimson ink until the skies are burning.' I love this line.
Great rhymes, even meter and personification.
The personifications of Day and Sun are so well done that I see her with a key locking her shop door. She's wearing a gown of white mist with a floral wreath in her hair.
Sun is in the back storage room,impatiently glowing on a shelf.
(seriously, I see that and you didn't even write it. LOL)

Comment from Changeisgood
Brooke, Very clearly stated and beautiful nature poem about our two biggest neighbors in solar system. It has an Emily tone to it. I like the domestic situation you put these heavenly bodies in "to sheves designed for storing." The rhymes were clear and cleverly done. Franny
