Click hereI drove my stakes in frozen clay
to fix the sun with solar stay
and watched as morning brightness grew
till spring's first rays a shadow threw.
Out in my field of last year's hay
where summer boys and calves will play
I measured lines and angles straight
and now for spring's first sunset wait.
I liked it in the thread on Earth Day and I like it here.
Smooth rhyme is cool and the subject was clear. sand
Thank you everyone who has commented or sent feedback. A few have asked the meaning of the poem. Well, this poem arose from a discussion on a Florida fishing forum where someone stated that at the equinox the sun rose directly east and set directly west of all observers. Several of us jumped on this and the suggestion was made that an actual experimental observation should be made with stakes and string; compass and protractor. ~ Hence the poem; telling of my experiment in a frozen New Hampshire meadow on March twenty first.
(ps: Of course the sun does not rise directly east nor set directly west in the states. The equinox is when the sun crosses the equator and only there does it rise and set directly east & west.)

A nice write; the only problem is, I look outside and all is white as more confectioner's sugar falls from the sky.
