Sun-wise (Re-post from misc to get crit)

[R.C. KITCHENS]

Stone grinds out a diamond arc,
trilithons frame the heel.
Beasts of burden down from field,
parade around the fire's wheel.

Rural beacons blind the night,
leapers launch above the flames,
marking out the crops new height,
all-fathers play their manly games.

Sun passes power onto leaf,
vervain, trefoil, rue and rose
sleep to dream of loves new lease,
the bard within reclaims belief.

I cant see anything to point out except that I like "masculine" instead of "manly" feels to me the word masculine adds a stronger depth. It reads very well and has a good rhythm. I think "new" in this line "sleep to dream of lovers new lease" stresses the rhythm. All in all good poem.
