Gary Smith Poet Personification

I Only Tell of Sunny Hours

I only tell of sunny hours...

For beneath the moon I cower.

Not for I the dark of night,

But visit me in bright sunlight.

Then watch the shadows cross my face,

For the march of time I trace.

At one am I with the Sun,

But come the gloom, then I am done.
