Best In Show

The cold sun’s anemic arc, 
    skirts the day with crystal frill. 
    Prancing just above the pines,   
       sun dogs wag their tails.

Oh, wagging tails indeed, only as your sun dogs would do. Great image, David.

Don't know if there are such creatures as 'sun dogs.' If not, you have brought them to life here in the chill of the pines. Lovely penned, Gershon

Hi Gershon, thanks for the comment...sundogs form when sunlight refracts off ice crystals in the atmosphere and result in colored spots of light near the sun
