Sunrise's Entrance Poem by RIC BASTASA

sunrise is such a lady
with a fashion sense

clad in rays of light
slim between the
shadows of the trees
jeweled with diamond
warm like a lover's hand

sunrise dramatically
arrives full of hope for
another brand new day

there is a fruit tray by the
window
five shiny red apples
there is a base of white
magnolias inside a
golden vase by
the window

there is breakfast on the
table: smiling fried egg
tasty hot dogs, pearl white
rice, brewed coffee and
a slice of ripe yellow mango.

poetry in bliss
music from the breeze
