Fit for a King
Like a royal robe trimmed in gold,
on display to those passing by,
shimmering clouds,
in folds of purple silk,
are draped across the sky.
As if laid out in anticipation
of welcoming the King,
they billow in the breeze.
They rustle. They whisper. They sigh.
If you listen very carefully,
They rustle. They whisper. They sigh.
If you listen very carefully,

So beautiful. I love your poetry and I love it when you use the sunrise/sunset as a visual aid to accompany it.
Thank you for sharing this. You really lifted my spirits this morning. :)
Beautiful pictures, poem and video!!! I continue to be amazed at the beautiful skies!
OMG! I love evening skies! And I love your new avatar! You died your hair! You look a lot younger and prettier! :D
Such a lovely poem, Daisy. Your photos are perfect and so is the video. Haven't thought of this song in many years. Hope you have a great day.
Great post today, Daisy... The words and song fit the photos SO much... Definitely "Fit for a King"...
Hugs,
Betsy
Beautiful sunsets. Did you take these pics? Lovely poem. Have a good day Daisy.
Pretty pics and I love the poem too. Thanks, D.
Both your photos and the music are inspiring! Thanks.
Awww. I never get enough of your poetry, you really have a way with words..love it, so beautiful..
Daisy, what came first -- the poem or the photos? BOth are lovely.
Jenn, thank you. It's nice to hear this post lifted your spirits. :-)
Thank you, Dorothy. They are such a gift to us, aren't they. And they are different every time you look at them, no matter how many you see. :)
Thanks, Rad! I wish I could feel younger. haha! :-) I think the lighting was just different in this picture. My hair is still the same color as before. It's a little longer in this one, though.
Thank you, Maple Lane. Seeing the sky look the way it did made me think of that song, so I thought I would link to it in the poem. :-)
Thank you, Betsy. The sky really was amazing. I loved all the colors. :-)
Thank you, Becca. Yes, I did take these pictures. The first one is actually a sunrise looking out from my living room window across the street in front of my house. The others are all of a sunset that I took while riding in the car. They were taken looking out across a country road and some fields just outside of the town where I live. :)
Thank you, Cary. Your kind words mean a lot. I rewrote that poem about umpteen times (which means quite a few!) trying to get it just right. I still wasn't completely satisfied with it, but I liked the final version better than what I started with. That's progress, I guess. :-D
Thank you, Kimberly. I used to listen to a lot of music by John Denver, so his songs often pop into my head at odd times. :-)
Susie, thank you so much. I know you know how much time a poem can take. I'm glad you like my work. I really appreciate your kind comment. :-)
Hi Beatrice. Thank you! The photos came first. I often write poems that are inspired by photos or things I see in nature. Sometimes I write about my own photos, and sometimes I write poems about what I see or imagine in the photos of others. :-)
Oh, ok. I thought your hair was a lot lighter. It just looks a lot darker that caught my attention hehe
Nice poem with lovely pictures to go with it.
Just lovely!!
Rad, I took that picture with the webcam on my laptop instead of a regular camera. I think it just came out looking darker because there weren't a lot of lights on in the room. I guess that means I look younger in the dark. hahaha! :-)
Hello Quay Po! Welcome and thank you for commenting here. I'm glad you liked my poem and pictures. :)
Thank you, Ash. :-)
Thanks for the video and John Denver singing that moving song Daisy. I needed that today. Your pics are beautiful. Hugs. LJ
What a beautiful poem and photos!
The photos and poem are perfect for the day today. And as it often happens the viewer may have actually taken the art in a different direction than the artist intended. (Or perhaps you did.) All in all, beautiful and a good picture in my mind for today, thank you.
Thanks, LJ, I'm glad you liked the music. :)
Sandy, thank you! :-)
Lanny, however you interpreted it, I'm glad you liked it. Thank you. I hope you have a good day! :)
Your words are so wonderfuly right! Beautiful photos.
I love the beautiful photos and the lovely poem. The video is great. What a lovely experience viewing your wonderful posting. This is wonderful!
Kathleen and Brenda, thank you so much! Hope you both are having a good week. :-)
God's morning and evening greetings to us are among His greatest gifts! I love your big sky photos, and your poem is lovely as always. Thanks for sharing the music video - I loved it.
Thank you very much, Diana. I agree--sunsets and sunrises are magnificent gifts to us. I seem to be always trying to capture and save them in photos. :-)
Ahaha! Or, you can walk out and about having a laptop in front of your face :p hehehehehhehe
kidding
Regardless, you always seem to look happy to me! That's what matters!
HA! Thanks, Rad. You make me laugh. :-D
Beautiful!
Thank you, Cindy! :-)
The sky is so amazing here lately too. Such colors as spring tries to blaze through.
Wonderful poem too. And you are the princess!
xoox
Thank you, Jannie. I am repeatedly amazed at how beautiful the sky is. It continues to surprise me that the same sky in the same spot can look so different not only from day to day but even from minute to minute. :-)
Beautiful photos & beautiful poem!
You are very talented !
Thank you very much, Myrna. I'm glad you liked this post. :-)
