At not quite four AM on a quiet June morn-
The syrup sky cracked, and blood ran out
There was no one, not even a moose about
There’ll be no rest for the sun today
The long summer solstice is still on it’s way
When I read Misky’s Twiglet #153 for the week, ‘syrup sky’ I was instantly transported to the silent dawns in Healy. The sleepy sun just barely cresting the horizon after a hard days work. Kind of gives new meaning to the phrase, ‘crack of dawn’.
And conveniently, ‘crack’ was the Quadrille #92 poeming word of the day on deVerse
Thru Violet's Lentz 
Nice line: “There’ll be no rest for the sun today”

That is so evocation. And you’re so fortunate that you can experience it.

Both prompts, but they did compliment each other, didn’t they?

They did, indeed! Here for my second visit, through twiglets (just finished mine). I’m loving that blood running out…I can see this so vividly.

Those word were a prompt on Twigletts the link is in my final paragraph. Misky introduces us to brilliant phrases every week.

That line is absolutely amazing. Lovely rhyme scheme, lovely everything. Imagine a weary Alaskan sun with no breaks as solstice!

“. . . and blood ran out.” It’s organic-feeling and an accurate description of how red the sky gets sometimes. Great poem!

Amazing what just a few miles away somewhere changes in climate.
I used to watch ‘Northern Exposure’ based in Alaska. Long dark winters?
Reminds me also of how even the long days of sun in Maui were ended with very quick sunsets (at least that September when we were there…).
