New Day is a poem from my book Melodious Verse.

A concrete poem written in free verse, it is the shape is of the sun on the horizon over water, written in 98 words.

New Day I sit watching god’s creatures of the night, fleeing from the ever-approaching dawn. A bright orange and red haze caresses the horizon. Beyond this is the sun. Slowly ever so slowly rising above the edge of the earth: to explode into an orange ball of fire. Sending a red river of shimmering light across the water, now it is dawn. I can hear the cries of a seagull as it gracefully glides by me. In the water ducks swim around, as the sun lights up the world. It becomes morning, it is dawn no more, but a new day.
