About This Poem

AURORA'S DELIGHT



Aurora wears a sheer brocade on sight Drawing sky’s curtain with morning delight, Cool fragrance of orchids floats in the air While pipers tweet waxed melodies, to share. Praying serenely for calmer retreat Tiptoes mark dainty imprints, beams from feet; As kitchen mildly breathes like fresh dawn’s rise Cool whistling of kettle rouses misty eyes. On glazed halls are still pictures framed around Faces of loved ones beaming through the ground, I savor their hasty leave, a heaven’s touch While cuddled moments whiff, fashioned as such. Yet in the hour when sun’s landscape dwells My time alone releases inner spells, When doilies, tea, and journals set me free To daylight-waltz among groves’ fiddling trees. --------- *Aurora--Goddess of Dawn A Couplet Morning Contest for Francine Roberts by nette onclaud 9 Aug 2012
