Emile Pinet Poet Blank verse

Dandelion Dreams

I'm dreaming dandelion dreams,
afloat on a sea of yellow.
And I feel buoyant, as a cloud,
floating on the fringes of sleep.

Sol rises: his gold chariot
igniting the horizon's edge.
And slowly ascends, vanquishing
the last vestiges of the Night.

Dawn's first glimmer of golden light
dissolves ebony silhouettes.
And arouses sleepy shadows,
yawning and stretching into shape.

Blue tints: ink an absorbent sky,
dappled with white cottony clouds.
And starlings squabble in the trees;
as robins forage far below.

Nature's natural masterpiece,
Dawn's spectacularly unique.
And heralds the birth of the day,
with a symphony of color.

Line Gauthier February 25, 2018 at 8:19 PM This poem is a series of spectacularly beautiful lines strung together to create an awesome poem, Emile. I particularly love the "sleeping shadows yawning and stretching into shape" and the closing lines "like any true masterpiece it's spectacularly unique". A definite FAVE for me.

Daver Austin May 2, 2015 at 11:03 AM At last someone writes of the beauty of the dandelion as perhaps a child would think it while lying on the grass. Love, daver Emile Pinet May 2, 2015 at 12:04 PM Thanks Daver, I appreciate your visit. Emile.
