January Sunrise

Arresting carnations through divulged eyes,
o'er bursting citrus stretching a punchbowl
--drapes prized quilt of January's Sunrise.

Underneath confident amorphous skies,
a year dawns, snowdrops grow in icy knoll.
Arresting carnations through divulged eyes,

fan a nippy faint frost neath earth's disguise,
since a chilled session saunters in its role
--drapes prized quilt of January's Sunrise.

Pomegranate seeds spur garnet to prize
as a crimson cardinal whorls midst troll.
Arresting carnations through divulged eyes,

as spacious house scores quiet time surprise.
Resolution course, move on and console
--drapes prized quilt of January's Sunrise.

View a sanguine sun slipping down edgewise,
month's shift gears, first of twelve, on cruise control.
Arresting carnations through divulged eyes,
--drapes prized quilt of January's Sunrise.

This is a wonderfully painted image of January William. It is so splendid that each line unflods intself like a warm carpet on white snow adding to the gorgeous scenery. Congratulations on your win. Blessings :)
