Connie Marcum Wong Poet Alliteration

Notes About The Poem

An Emerald Morning

An Emerald Morning

Verdant sylvan shades share, 
      emerald and peridot's glossy glow 
            with Apollo's serene sunrise 

in silent tropic trades as
      I delight to see Egrets 
            take flight in our island's 

stunning sultry morning light
      as sunlight gleams off 
            white outstretched wings.

My soul sings with the 
      enchantment life brings.
            Fine mist reaps rainbows

in vivid hues, sun kissed.
      Raindrops create magical 
            mountain mélanges in

winsome waterfalls.
      Seaside surf splashes
            white waves upon the

pearly sandy shores
      with aqua warm waters.
            Maritime vessels share

the sea with swimmers.
      Young and old rejoice in
            our peaceful paradise.
