Russell Sivey Poet Rhyme

The Horizon

The horizon, a fixture of bright lights
A feeling of peace and calm comes blazon
Skyscrapers so tall, which carries delights
The horizon

Outline of the buildings glow greatly on
They sure grow up to the highest of heights
To observe this limelight my heart’s not down
Lights bring compassion, does not harbor plight

The yellow lights glow best right before dawn
There’s no mystery, this is the best sight
The horizon

Carolyn Devonshire March 28, 2014 at 2:08 PM Dear Russell, What a beautifully crafted Roundel! I always used to watch the lights of the NY horizon from a peak in New Jersey and they were breathtaking, much as you describe in your beautiful poem. I love the way you ended the poem with the lights we see just before sunrise. It's truly an amazing site here on the beach. Awesome work and thank you for reading my poetry even though I am not able to return all comments. You are special, Rusty! Love, Carolyn
