Notes About The Poem

Date written: 12/16/2018

Listen to poem:

A Glimpse of a Promising Day

 
                           so, I rose...

                    early morn' today
    and drew open the bedroom curtain
 how glorious, the little bit I saw of dawn!
how wondrous to see the face of the sun....

                             smiling!

       In a split-second, my joyous spirit 
       pirouetted and flung up to heaven
                just a tease...a glimpse 
                    of a promising day.
