Day Poems
sounds of day: prelude
by Rikske Kessner
Today has yet to break its silence, at dawn
the first rays sparkle off dew or frost or snow
followed by a rooster’s crow and we know
Yesterday rescinds its front row seat for another
Warm Wednesday
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
daytime in August

Rosy Day Running
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

On A Rainy Day
by Pijush Biswas

The sky reverberates with anticipation.
The gradual rhythm of light
Breathes order and motion
Under the receding cloak
Of the once reigning night.
A solar sliver slips:
Belly to the horizon,

Why?
by Kailey Norris
Why does the sky stay lit after a sunset?
Before a sunrise?
If the light is below our horizon,

Where does the black of night come from?
When does a star go from invisible to shining brightly?
