Very nice.
Expressing such a beautiful image under the constraints of such a strict rhyme and rhythm scheme is amazing.
I really like,"there's another race to run". It lends itself well to the mythology of the sun.
Thanks for sharing
Gene

Thanks so much for explaining the poem form; I have never tried that one. I would take the comma out after "For" in the line "For as the Earth's surface (and fix the spelling of surface) is spun,"

One thing about a new day. It seems to take away the bad and the sadness of the past with fresh newness.Hope is in a new day and hope always makes you happy. When the sunshine is on your shoulder you can be nothing but happy.
Lovely

A great verse, as each day enters it brings a new beginning, and more hope for the days to come, the picture is just right for this too....

I love it as a poem and as an expression of your title. I first thought that it was inconclusive in the thought, but as I read it all through it came together and remarked how a new day begins - in the turning "spun" of the Earth. Well done.

Hello my friend I enjoyed this one. The promise of a new day and all that it entails - always fresh with no mistakes and a chance to do our best again. Lots of hope and beauty in this one.

It settles on our shoulders if we are willing to face the day. I felt its warmth, felt the faith within bloom and say thanks so much for sharing this one.
Beautiful art work too:)

This is a wonderfully penned poem with a a clear message stroy of another day with another sunshine. We are usually given chances in life - to redeem and to reconcile.

The Rondeau redouble meant that we have redouble our efforts to find that solution in life, to walk again and then to run when possible. Another day, another chance to do it right which is on a similar theme to my "To be or not".

Excellent write. Well done!

Cheers, Ritchie.

P.S. I shall be away from FanStory on occasional breaks to better manage my time. My apologies if my reviews come late.
