Marie Viloria Poet Free verse

Sunrise

Crawl out of bed
in the early morning
squint towards the window

Brilliant colors
shower down
orange
pink
red

Piercing to dark sky
changing it
to the dawn
of a new day.

As mom is driving home
later that evening
I look out of the car window
and see the sun
sinking below the tops of the trees

and this time
the colors are different
deeper reds
stronger oranges
and a faint, subtle hint
of a purplish indigo

I watch the trees
swallow the sun
and wonder
if tomorrow
will bring something new

~Marie Viloria~

Andrea Dietrich April 26, 2011 at 3:28 PM wonderful poetry! I am confused if we are to just pick one or the other or if we may write of both as you did. I had hoped to do both. Guess i will contact the sponsor since he says to pick one or the other. I hope your way is acceptable because I think it deserves a good win.
