This Day

Trying to break a block...

Sunrays slice effortlessly the winter clouds

Golden rods of warmth illuminate the horizon

Silhouettes take flight, bringing life to the gray

Dark hills in the distance pale to misty blue

Rising brings amber warmth and anticipation

Mist slowly fades, vibrant color replaces

Lush green grass, freckles of red and yellow

Chirping and whistling songs compete for attention

Sharp blues, reds and yellow burst from lush green trees

Life dances in chaos surrounding you

Stepping out, first morning light kisses you

Sleep’s cool blanket washes away

Sparrow song sounds encouragement

What good will come this day!

This poem is beautiful! I just love the way you did it! I also love the way you are keeping it "clean" I'm not a beer, or things like that person.

this poem is so nice. it kind of gives me the warm and fuzzies. i wish i could work this well under the influence of writers block.

writer's block can be a nightmare - you're pushing through it well here - very uplifting and optimistic - the signs of a good day even - the birds and light - nice job

No suggestions...I don't like editing someone's work unless it's an error that severely hinders the poem. I like it. I like the descriptions because I feel like I'm looking at a painting and can see what you describe. Love the first two sentences of the last stanza.
