The sun rises in concealed haze Masked like a Nuthatcher But its heat will warm this fine day Strip away the latter Man has marked path of the sun. Learned that he can count on Its constant presence in the sky. Always knowing there's dawn Sun's gifts of heat and light delight But sun's heat can torture Parching the earth leaving barren With man desiring flight The sun with its heat and great light Trigger desire to rise. Sun's rays coming through window Say open sleepy eyes. Necessary mix of good_bad Heat, warmth, growth, too hot,dry Clouds on hot summer day Welcomed, tell sun goodbye Relief from heat for short a time Heat_ just the right amount Is what man desires_ just enough A perfect place to surmount Sponsor: Brian Strain

Jack, A cocklebur is a seed of a weed that has sticky little points on it like a sweet gum tree's seeds except it will cling to anything it comes in contact with and has to be pulled off which will hurt ones fingers. It is nature's way of getting her seeds spread everywhere and you don't want to bring it into your yard or pasture or garden. Sara

This is a fabulously delightful write my friend! I really enjoyed the hot poem you have written so exquisitely! I love the 4th stanza the best, the flow and rhyme is done very lyrically superior! What a glorious piece here Sara, you will do well in Debbie's contest! Great Work!! PS you might want to make sure but I believe this poem has to be free verse or blank verse, just letting you know!
