Sunrise in MacArthur Park
We are in the middle of MacArthur Park
Where the morning sun
Irradiates the trees’ bark
Here, in the heartland
Dawn is more dazzling than normal
Glowing like a molten gold crucible
Shedding neon rays of sunshine
That stream through the tall pines
Like iridescent trumpet vines

Trumpet Vine, Solar Flare Bells

Oh! and Ooh! Such beautiful sunrise photos, poem, and song/vid!
I read your poem two times (out loud) and both times I smiled and sighed. π
Love the sun and trumpet vine comparison. π

Oh wow, thank you very much for your wonderful comments, Carolyn … Funnily enough, I had the photos and the thoughts, but the poem took me 12 hours to write! … I suppose I was very tired after my whirlwind holiday … πππππΆ
