Sun Rise and Set

Sun Rise and Set

A Poem by shelbylugal
"

Its a poem I did for the heck of it about the sunrise and the sunset

"

Sunrise

 

Life revives as the sun mounts higher

Dreams unravel with the blossoms

And streaks cry outwards into the trees

 

Grass giggles with gladness

As the frost transforms to dew

Birds fly to get the wet worm

 

Scents of pine and oak tingle the nose

Newly found rays burn the eyes

And a picture of perfect harmony arises

 

Alas, time elapses with the morning’s breeze

The sun plays tag with the horizon

And sunrise merges to the sunset

 

Blues and blacks dance on reflecting water

The owl hoots watching them dance

Then everything fades to a peaceful darkness

 

Sunset

"The sun plays tag with the horizon" Great personification.

"Grass giggles with gladness" I love alliteration. And another good example of personification.
Nice imagery. I like the starting and ending lines of just "Sunrise" and "Sunset." Reminds me of stage directions in a Shakespear play ("Enter" and "Exuent"). A well-written poem. Great job.

The line, "The Sun plays tag with the horizon," gave me a perfect image in my head.

Loved it!
