Good Morning – Good Night

Good Morning.
The sun greets the day
Spreading warmth 
Enticing sleepy eyes to open
and experience whatever wonders the day holds.

After hours of basking in the sunshine of the day
Eyes begin to droop
Coolness sets in
The sun begins to depart.
Good Night.

  1. Beautiful poem! I especially like the image of the sleeping eyes opening. I love Morning Glory. My grandma hated it. It grew wild through her garden and she would get so mad about it. Now when I see it I think of her, which is what makes it my favourite.

    I love this poem! Thank you for sharing.

  3. Bob, your poem is a delight after a long day. Would you like to combine your first photo with the first stanza of your poem for my Nurturing Our Summer Souls Gallery? Love this thought! Off to sleep!
    Eyes begin to droop
    Coolness (of the ceiling fan) sets in.

    I love how you framed the beginning and end of your poem with the images of the flower. And I love how the sun and skies wake us up and tuck us in. It’s a comforting and familiar image, one that made me smile today. Thank you. =))

  5. Glad it made you smile. When I finally sat down to write I had no idea what I would end up with.
