As a non-poet, I find rhyme to be stupid hard; even alliteration is tricky. To keep this series aligned (birdies, butterflies, and something else with a B), the best I could do for these sunrise shots was to invoke “break of day.” If only all three of them had had boats . . .

“Only entropy comes easy.” - Anton Chekhov (c.1900); also stated by Lewis Mumford (1970)
“You should call it entropy, because nobody knows what entropy really is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage.” - John Neumann (c.1939), suggestion to Claude Shannon on what to call his new formula for information
“Just as the constant increase of entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be ever more highly structured and to struggle against entropy.” - Vaclav Havel (1986), Czech playwright

You mean that “all the birdies, butterflies, bears, bobolinks, bald-headed men, even bishops, barged into the boat and began to bail before the boat bemired below its bow at break” of day?
Is that what you are trying to say?

Tom – Pesky poets! Next time, I’ll ask you.
Providing those pesky poets are perfectly predictable and not periodically perfunctory.
Maybe shouldn’t risk it.

To – Hmm. P’raps it is preposterous to think that the predominant poetic property would be persistence.
Probably!

Tom – 😉
Lovely pictures, although you would have to be there to distinguish daybreak from sunset. There should be a poem in there . . . .
Laurna – 🙂
The image is a poem w/o words. 😀
Barbara – There you go. And with no need to rhyme.
