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
