Morning by Jana Kalina - Your Daily Poem

Morning
by
Jana Kalina

Morning was in a marvelous mood—

Sun, like a flame thrower,
over the horizon came
spreading its grand mantle of light

In one sweeping gesture,
dismissed all traces
of night

Especially like the image of the sun as a "flame thrower."
