Carpe Diem, à l'Andrea Dietrich

Chris Soderquist
January 7, 2016

[Originally posted July 10, 2015]

Welcome to Repower's Friday Solar Poetry Corner. Poet Andrea Dietrich's exuberant expression of carpe diem is perfect for solar, too.

carpe diem

when sun is shining 

I love to reach out my arms 

and grab its brilliance. . .

if I can do nothing more

at least I have seized the day
