Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

THE PIECE OF MUSIC IS 'MORNING' FROM THE PEER GYNT SUITE BY EDWARD GRIEG, IT IS A PIECE I HAVE ADORED SINCE I WAS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD!

At Break of Day

we wake up at the crack of dawn
to view the gold sun rise
it’s a glorious sunny morn

let’s wander over verdant hills
crossing the patchwork fields
of vibrant xanthic daffodils

and watch them dance on zephyr breeze 
their golden trumpets sound
as blackbirds chirrup in the trees

after a hike we’ll stop and rest
and gaze at the blue sea
our nature rambles are the best!

Marilene Evans November 3, 2020 at 9:02 PM Congrats on your win. Beautiful poem. Jan Allison November 11, 2020 at 5:57 PM Thanks Marilene:-) hugs Jan xx

Paul Schneiter November 1, 2020 at 3:31 PM Magnificent imagery and scene-setting, but that's not all: It increases one's vocabulary with "xanthic." Until I read your poem, I thought daffodils were simply yellow. Delightful, Jan. xxx Paul Jan Allison November 11, 2020 at 5:35 PM thanks Paul, xanthic was a word I discovered when writing an abecadarian poem, and it's far more poetic than yellow:-) hugs jan xx

Jennifer Proxenos October 18, 2020 at 10:16 AM Such an awesome write Jan - I love to watch a sunrise and when we go on holiday we normally leave about 5 o'clock in the morning on our trip so that I can watch the sun rise over the vast grasslands.
