Sunlight

I lay under the rays of warmth and joy.. My eyes enlighten by the shadow just like a toy.. The glow from east to west follows my day.. On the big tractor I sit with my music and rays.. I pray it stays out as my body longs for sleep.. It hides away for the night while the passing of sheep.. Morning comes as light spills through my open window.. Up and dressed for a new day under a bright new show.. Coffee poured and sunglasses perched high.. Golf clubs in the corner,called out sick to tee up and drive.. The fairways bright and green as the sun covers my playground.. My phone is ringing so loud, could be work but I can't here a sound..

Very uplifting poem on the beauty and magically joyful power of sunshine, Michael. Very nice use of imagery and I enjoyed the way you described the sun covering your golf course "playground." Chuckled at the last line -- just let that ringing phone do its thing and keep ignoring it. Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn

Hey there Michael, what a lovely write to end my day with.. If for Nikko's contest you need to add four more lines hun. She wants a minimum of 12 lines if I am not mistaken.. Good luck for the contest.. btw, I know you enjoy our madness :) love Wilma
