The Sun I See

Sun
                                                           rays pour
                                                  through the branches,
                                                          I sit under
                                    trees and paint the horizon with my pen.

                               Strokes from my ink flow to each curve I write,
                                                     as drips from the
                                                           sun color
                                                              all I
                                                               see.

This is a wonderful double tetractys. The ink and the sun flowing together.

wow, the more of these I see,( the poems for the Inspiration contest?), the more I realize how lame my own entry is. (unless she goes for a little humor!) How are you today, MIchael. Already it is WEdnesday and time for me to get off here! Maybe I will see one more of yours first though!

Dear Michael, I enjoyed your analogy of the sun pouring through branches to the ink that rips from your pen. Hope you really didn't miss the contest. This is an exquisite write. Many poets draw their inspiration from nature. Excellent tetractys! Love, Carolyn
