Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of morn before first light

Before Dawn

Actual poetry form is Pensee

stillness
earth holds its breath
while all of nature awakens
there's a soft glow, dew kissed petals
waiting for the sunrise

So calm and serene—this reads like a gentle breath before the day begins. I could feel the hush and see those dew-kissed petals. Absolutely beautiful!

Pensee, shmensee -- no matter the form. The imagery here is bursting with anticipation. Wonderful, Sara!!

Gershon, I am not doing the form (Pensee means a thought or reflection. I think it is French) exactly as it should be done so read about it on the internet. I bet you could write some exactly to form and in a delightful way. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

So nice of you to visit, Bill. Texas is not far away but it has been on the news a great deal lately with some bad weather and other happenings. I hope all is well with you and your family now. Sara K

Sara B, I always loved mornings and had so much energy and was able to get a lot done. Now, it is an entirely different story. The evening was nice sleep slipped up and now I am awake too early. Sara K
