Bad Manners

What came of you, oh rouging bashful sun
Your fiery face belies your youthful enterprise
Morning dew illuminates by incandesce spark
Was it brash action of the taunting wind 
that made you color so?
Your blushing face now tints the evening sky.

Its been a while Mikki,. How have you been? What a marvelous read from a blessed paged built on lines constructed with the lyrics of the skies and words well supported by dynamic foamy clouds. Message well expressed! No doubt an absolute 7##.

So luck I am to find one not read. The analogy of a blushing sun is priceless and each line uses such picturesque vocabulary. Wonderful as always dear Mikki, hope all is well with you. Love, Elizabeth
