Sunrise Emblazons--By Diane Webster--United States

Sunrise Emblazons

I pause in the reflection of the sunrise
emblazoned across swirly cloud tails
left behind by hulking masses made
lighter by golden red colors sloshed
upon the once-grey pre-dawn backdrop
soon to drown in morning ascent
while pickups, cars, SUVs roll
through the four-way-stop intersection
probably unseeing of the spectacular
unless I am the spectacle standing
on the sidewalk in six-degree weather
like a scarecrow gazing at its winter field.
