I watch–
the rosy red
blooming, adorning the sky
fashioning the day’s beginning,
rising.
A Crapsey Cinquain for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday challenge. (Synonyms for grace and style). I wrote about the moon yesterday, so it’s only fair that I write a poem about the sun today.
Beautiful, Merril. Enjoy your Sunday! I hope your mother is doing okay.
Thank you very much, Jill! Hope you have a great Sunday, too.
‘fashioning the day’s beginning’ has a lovely archaic feel to it.
Thank you! You’re right, it does. 🙂
And a good rhythm 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
And so I learn yet another form of poetry. This is truly lovely.
Happy Sunday!
Thank you! Happy Sunday to you, too!
Thank you!
It’s definitely blooming. A sunrise like that is bound to start the day with a glad heart. (K)
Thank you, Kerfe!
That sunrise is the wonderful way to start the day, and your words capture it perfectly.
I love the stunning skies of morning! Great capture and wonderful words.
Thank you very much, Frank. I’m not sure when I took that picture. It was in my WP gallery. . .
These colors are amazing!!
Thank you very much!
Splendid
Thank you very much!
A lovely poem, Merril. I hadn’t heard of a Crapsey Cinquain it’s beautiful. Your picture is gorgeous. The two complement each other. ❤
Thank you so much, Vashti, for your lovely comment.
Yes, there are many types of cinquains. This form is named for poet Adelaide Crapsey.
Well, I just learned something new. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
