A blade of light

cuts through the night:
one single ray
announcing day.

And after days of heavy rain, and more to come, I didn't mind one bit that the sun woke me at 6a.m.

About to head off on a poets' retreat for a few days, meeting up with a dozen other children's writers. So if it goes quiet in this neck of the woods, you'll know the WiFi signal isn't all it's promised to be. And please forgive me if my comments are somewhat sparse for the remainder of the week.
