Hail to the Sun!

Hail the Sun! 

I raise my cup of coffee high,
an early toast to things I spy.
The atmospheric river spent,
torrential rains have come and went.
There's no more need to wail and whine
I'm getting drunk on sunrise shine 

The orb appears with great pizzazz
a welcome treat, I hum smooth jazz
to wake my day with cheeky joy
and hope the weather won't be coy.
May a warmer, dryer, week be mine, 
I'm getting drunk on sunrise shine.

Verse Form:  A Stave, a Scottish drinking song.

Some of my friends make moonshine and they feel the same......albeit not exactly the same, but the celebratoriness of it is definitely similar and they would argue the same wholesomeness of their endeavours, haha, at least early in the evening.  Perhaps it's you commenting about the Stave, that made me think of real drinking songs.

Haha Terry,  I try to stay true to the theme as well as the frame of a traditional Verse Form.  I never have been into alcohol other than an occasional glass of wine at special occasion dinners.    But I can raise a cup to the sunrise.  I love my coffee in the morning.
