What Makes me Smile Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Karen Jones

Brandishing the lightning lance, the sun arrives, The mighty, majestic monarch of the day. Kissing the mouldy mountain rows, he comes Banishing mist and frost from night’s blotched brow. In what rich ruby ring of radiance, he appears Smearing and splotching liquid gold, he gracefully moves With sparkling splashes, the world becomes bright The prompt and punctual rooster raises his raucous revelry. Birds and beasts wake up from their slumberous sleep. The feathered folks tweet and twitter in harmonious notes. The verdant vales below send up a welcoming sign. The leaves stay bright tipped with dainty droplets of dew. Morn, the bashful, mousy maiden with modest grace, Peeps and peeks through half drawn curtains in the East. Removing all trace of a tarnished yesterday, The day arrives making me smile in burgeoning bliss.

Thank you dear Tom. You used to announce the news of my POTD. This time, it was an exception. I understand that you are busy making a slide presentation. All the best. I too am taking a short break as I am going to Bangkok and Pattaya on a family trip for a week.

Dearest Valsa, soulful poetess, you captured my imagination with your first line "Brandishing the lightning lance, the sun arrives" -so vivid, and the "punctual rooster raises his raucous revelry" was a WoW! moment, as your beautiful imagery followed the sun up from the the mountains to reign high in the sky. Indeed, your vibrant poem of the day's arrival made me smile too. Belated congrats for POTD honors! A worthy choice my sweet friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Thanks a lot dear extremely gifted poet on your second visit to my page. These days I have been so busy. I had a glimpse at your poem, but seeing it long, I postponed my reading to a later date. However I want to enjoy it after a week or so as we are getting ready for a five day family trip to Bangkok and I intend to take a short break from Poetry Soup.

Dear Valsa, your poem praises daybreak and its rebirth. It depicts sun and sunrise as majestic beings that eradicate darkness and restore life and gladness. You write with vivid sensory details that inspire emotion and vision. Words like "brandishing," "majestic," "ruby ring," and "dainty droplets" paint a dawn scene. Alliteration ("feathered folks," "sparkling splashes") and powerful verbs ("banishing," "smearing") make the scenario lively.
