Sandra Haight Poet Blank verse

A Beautiful Sunny Day - Poetic Devices

1. Today, the weather feels like heaven's bliss!
        	
  2. The balmy breeze and beautiful soft blue
      		
  3. of sky above so makes me think of love.
		
  4. I feel time's right to write a charming poem
			 
  5. alone, together with my thoughtful views;
		
  6. the day's bright glow morphs into sunny smiles
		
  7. as sun speaks out to tell me all's okay.
		
  8. Free gift, true fact, sun is my greatest joy!
		
  9. Oh loveliness of day you melt my heart!
			
10. The words are humming, coming to my mind...
		
11. not nasty, snippy ones, evoked by rain,
			
12. but sweet, melodious, soft, sing-song ones
		
13. that move what's seen to my poetic scene
			
14. to paint such happiness when weather's fine.
		
15. And now...my poem...profound or slight?  Oh no!
	
16. To write with pointless pencil...so pointless!
