Undressed

a pitcher of sunshine
pours through undressed
window glass
a pure liquid gold
to pool on white sheets
crumpled in disarray
drenching exposed toes
kissing ankles
to settle on veiled thighs
how warm starts my day

The bliss of mornings, Chris, so much better than being otherwise dredged out of bed by pressing matters!🙏🏻🕊

Great poem. Alluring and warm to the senses. I like that line... 'drenching exposed toes and kissing ankles...'

There's a super sensory feel to this, and I enjoyed it a lot. It flows, just like the liquid sun it talks of, and I have a couple of suggestions for accentuating the flow and liquidity even more. First, kissing and settling are not especially liquid verbs. They work well, but had you considered alternatives? Second, I love the way the economy of the poem helps maintain or assist or even create the flow, and I can imagine a slow voiceover reading it over suitable footage; and in that regard I personally might drop 'glass' on the 3rd line. But all that aside, it's a lovely read, and thanks for posting. BRs 'Glen'

[Chris Shaw]

“Undressed window glass” I like that! Your poem is elegant in its simplicity. I feel as if, just as you were waking up, someone snapped a quick photo from the doorway. As usual, your imagery is strong.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you my friend. Your thoughts always valued and much appreciated. I have been having a bit of a break from poetry. The outside world taking over. All good wishes.

Pour me a sunshine
Awake my sleepy eyes
Cancel my worries
A new day has arrived
Opportunities abound
No limits for chances
Make the most of all
