The Sun Rose Red

Free verse

As Dawn cracks over the horizon

The small crescent moon takes a bow

Greeting her was his delight

For she paints silver in his hair

 

The moon was hardly visible

Painted the same shade of blue

That sky chose as a cloak

On this morning of early dew

 

The cloak of blue had a trail of mist

That shrouded the hills and valleys

A misty blue to silver gray

That was light and very airy

 

The birds enjoy the cloak

That fanned the air with damp

And cool mist of the night

But soon the sun put on another

 

Cloak as the she came fully light

A cloak of brilliant red

She wore to grace our summer day

Red as red poinsettias tips

 

On a gray December day

That means that the sun

Will bring heat as hot as

A fiery oak wood coal

 

The cool of the morn

Will go as the summer

Has bid us a warm hello

The moon with his silver hair

 

Has disappeared into the night

Of another land so swiftly

Did he go to bring a high tide

To another world..low tide for our shore

 

The sun rose cloaked in red

Bringing her heated stove

She will bake and cook some rocks

And heat the south hot I suppose

I enjoyed this poem espeacilly that last verse. It reminds me of a mother who would bake pastery for her children and that brings me to the thought of mother nature.
I enjoyed this read giving a good 90 rating. Im not sure what kind of interpretation others have on this piece but i feel that its not only words you have cleverly put together but i think you have either consiously or sub-consiously written this thinking of certain memories you have had throughout your life.
Very good poem liked the metaphores keep the great work up pal.
