    Like “The Little Prince”, I could watch the sunset over-and-over again. And your blog provides ample opportunities! This poem was written on the occasion of a sunrise, recalled after your recent posting of Michael Thomashefsky’s photograph. I submit it in celebration of Westport’s new poet laureate.

    Inspiration

    It doesn’t appear, interrupting
    the inky night, like a
    bare bulb, blinding white;
    but gently, subtly:
    out of the dull grayness of predawn,
    yielding in silence to the pink
    and mauve struggle of a day being born.
    Abruptly, umber-knurled peaks of east-distant
    hills are ablaze, and an orange ripe orb
    ascends against a confederate sky,
    rising flawlessly round
    except for a crow-feather cloud
    which, like language to poetry,
    pierces perfection by betraying limits.
