Open-Link-Mondays -- The Sun

The day the sun didn't rise

An ordinary day it seemed to be

The star lights were put out, all wicks were snuffed

Morning dew on grass, deer's last time for wet

.

Ducks in  the pond, diving for the big fish

Commuters' long drives were nearly ended

Darker than norm this day, street lights still lit

.

Calling from beyond, Sun was sleeping in

Commerce came to a halt, greed froze in place

Couldn't see in dark, folk went back to bed

Does it hurt when  
.

Does it hurt when your buds burst

That it might, it all depends

Depends on the meaning of

The meaning of the word burst

.

I walked down to the valley

Wanting to see my lover

Yet that would be all so wrong

My buds were bursting with, guess

.

Did I see my lover there

Dying for love, I could not

Did my buds go down bursting

Hyperboles they, could not

Today I'm linked with Björn Rudberg at the Real Toads, Sunday Mini-challenge (link)

Bjorn's challenge was to find one of her poems, available online at a karinboye.se, and write something that the poem inspired us to write.  I chose her poem, "Yes, of course it hurts," from which the first line goes like this: "Yes, of course it hurts when buds are breaking."  You can read the entire poem in English here:(http://www.karinboye.se/verk/dikter/dikter/ja-visst-gor-det-ont.shtml).

Notes:
-- The flowers, complete with 'buds', were given by our daughter, Karen, to Mrs. Jim as she recuperated from a partial hip transplant.
-- Last Saturday she fell and broke her hip. Her surgery was Monday at St. Luke's Hospital in The Woodlands, Texas. Thursday "we" moved to a rehab center where the average stay for hip transplants is 10 days.
-- The baby tiger is a baby tiger named Mike, after Mike the Tiger of LSU mascot fame.
