Day's Rebirth

GOD! How I love the start of day.

 

 

 

Just beneath the fog line
Greeting daybreak's kiss,
A deer and several rabbits
Are playing in the mist.

The morning dewdrops permeate
The summer meadow's earth.
Those dewdrops pass aromas
To the air at day's rebirth.

The sunrise is a work of art
From the master's brush
Blaze orange from his palette
And greens so very lush.

The mist that gently rises
Acts as morning’s cloak,
It softens day's first sunshine
As I sit beneath my oak.

The colors are so brilliant
With wildflower bouquet.
This greeting from the maker
Is the first gift of my day.

Easy flow, cohesive throughout, nice visuals. The half hour before daybreak through the half hour after are about my favorite time of day. I have written on it often and probably will again. No two mornings have ever been alike in some suble way or another. Good write here, Jerry.

I'm really a fan of your poetry. You have a great sense of rythm and a great way with images in the written form. This poem particularly appealed to the artist in me. I saw a lot of color from reading it which woke up my inner artist. Great job!

This hits me on several levels because it contains three of my favourite things. Firstly, proper verse! so much is lost these days, poetry that sound like a lecture really can not be called lyrics, I have to say I much prefer rhyme. Then the next thing that I adhore is your mastery of real words, long intelleigent and correct words, words of which old masters would be proud. The final thing, the content/subject matter, I often use the dawn as inspiration for my poems ... the dawn means "new hope" and that is unmeasureable. I am certainly off to read the rest. Thank you.

Painted an image in my mind's eye and triggers of the wet grass dew, sweet floral scents send me to a peaceful place I once knew.

Jerry I am Always amazed at how beautiful your poetry is. Your words seem to paint a startling and
vivid picture that unfolds as I read your poems. Excellent Job as always.
