Master Painter

"I am sending you a gift of poetry, dear heart." This one really reached out to me in its simple and uncluttered use of a sunrise to show God's handiwork. I thought that since your work was in Haiku, I would try to do a free verse version relating the thought of God painting His morning canvas. I hope you are okay with this. Inspired by the poem: "Heavenly Sunrise" by Constance~A Rambling Poet~ For: "I Am Sending You A Gift Of Poetry, Dear Heart" Contest Free Verse Poem Written by: Dan Cwiak The Master takes his brush to palette~ Effortlessly is the day's canvas dotted with color. Golden Horizon swished from the brush~ Darkened only by the earth tones of morning. An Orange Ball creeps o'er the distance~ Shades of red and yellow stir the burnt umber awake. Fine lines drawn for this morning~ No mistaking the Hand of God at work!
