Daybreak - For Split Haiku Contest

Daybreak tells its lies grey mists meeting in secret on MOTION TO ADJOURN Daybreak’s kiss lingers cooling touch of coming heat slow FADING IN THE SUN Daybreak stirs life’s soup blends aromatic nuance in SATIATING SCENT Daybreak orchestrates aria of growing things in SYMPHONY OF SPRING Daybreak, curtain call feathered applause echoing through SUNRISE BLINKING TREES 3/24/2016 submitted to – MUSTICS SPLIT HAIKUS – Poetry Contest sponsor – Mystic Rose

Good luck Jan. This contest is a "new" twist with the added one syllable line 3, an interesting shift from the strict form. Mystic Rose weaving another one of her spells. Thanks for your continuing support of my writing.
