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!
