A Wink of the Sun

The sun's flirtacious wink woke me at dawn
I smiled, lazily stretched, and stifled a yawn

I was teased by the touch of his warm hand
The power of his refulgent torch, I understand

His golden majesty then rose to brighten the skies
greeting the morning in such a grandiose reprise

I enjoyed this cheery wake-up call, Jenna... And I always am happy to learn a new word ('refulgent'). Here's to a refulgent, sunny day! Smiles, Gershon

I wish the sun would wake me up instead of our puppies at 3 am to go out. Great poem Jenna!

An Inspirational and wonderfully woven tapestry of verse. Six verses painting most vividly the artist's creativity, color, heart, and insight of the sun and life as well. A fav-- a gem too....

Your tribute to the sun has brightened my morning. We haven't seen it in a while; it has been rainy and cold here for the last three days. Hope all is well in your world. Hugs.

What a great way to be woken up, the sunlight coming through your window and feeling the warmth on your face. Tom.
