Summer Morning Light
after Christina Rossetti
sun warms the brick wall behind the house
a robin perches on a branch so thin it sways
the air is full of small sounds insects humming
in this quiet I find a sense of peacefulness that eludes me in busier hours
I took Christina Rossetti's simple diction and intimate tone, and applied them to a subject that, while still personal and quiet, explores a less common emotional register for her: peacefulness and serenity. I aimed to capture a moment of stillness and calm, using concrete everyday words to evoke a sense of tranquility.
