And On the Seventh Day

God was so pleased with his six days of creation The seventh day He declared a day of rest Bound to have some heavenly Well-deserved relaxation As soon as He woke up He brewed a cup of java and Set up his most comfy Adirondack chair On his fluffiest favorite cloud And so on this seventh day A most magnificent morning unfolded Watching from every conceivable angle One glorious sunrise after another By noon for Sunday brunch God challenged his angels to make The tallest fruit salad unimaginable For a rendez-vous on the Hawaiian islands The first summer games Were held that very afternoon Playful racing with dolphins And swimming in the seven seas Then dusk began to fall All were cordially invited to board The fabulous celestial party bus For a ‘round the world premiere trip Westbound capturing one endless sunset For hours and hours of a colorful joyride Ending with a final detour to the north For a late night aurora borealis show AP: 3rd place 2020 Submitted on February 6, 2019 for contest 2019 POETRY MARATHON MILE 17 sponsored by MARK TONEY and on October 9, 2018 for contest WHAT DID GOD DO ON THE SEVENTH DAY? sponsored by CURTIS MOORE

Line, what a beautiful celebration of the Creation. Wow! "westbound capturing one endless sunset" And I love the idea of God drinking coffee!

Line, this imaginative write delighted me, especially the way you set God up: "As soon as He woke up He brewed a cup of java and Set up his most comfy Adirondack chair On his fluffiest favorite cloud." And the ending is CLASSIC! I love aurora borealis, it is one of my Pinterest boards.
