Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Yellow and Illuminating Brilliance

Out on  porch to glimpse a sunrise
Orange sun cast gray 'on clouds
Whispy light airy sparse white clouds 
On horizon not like shroud

Then as the sun inched up orange 
Disappeared replaced by
Illuminating brilliance clear
Against blue blue sky

Dramatic change for human eyes
I longed to stay awhile
How many didn't even notice
Beauty very worthwhile

Iambic heptameter used as ballard stanza
Used by Emily Dickinson in many of her works

Russell Sivey July 16, 2012 at 10:49 AM What a great display of wondrous colors and clouds in the air my friend! The beauty of a sunrise is beyond anything imaginable in my opinion, so many variable within its creation! There can be so many different colors splashing within its cast! What a wonderful poem Sara, I love it! Great Work!!
