Lin Lane Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Dawn Dances On My Wall

Dawn dances through the window
dressed in skirts of prismatic colors
magnifed by my bottles on the sill.
She spins pirouettes on the wall
as their invited morning guest 
always welcomed to the Sunshine Ball

My glass bottles are part of my décor 
not a mere whimsy of happenstance
through which Dawn chooses to dance.
I always  meant to gather more
but my time is always spent
on life and more important things 
the moment I walk out the door

There was a day, not long ago,
when I brought home wild roses
too short stemmed for my crystal vase
But when I placed one in each bottle
it was such a pleasing aesthetic that
it put a cavorting smile on my face

They never really needed a purpose
more than being pleasing to my eye,
but in Dawn's ballet the next morning,
daylight swam through rippling water
accompanied by a Blue Jay's symphony,
I knew how remarkable they'd become to me

One subdued in shades of polished green, 
others were jars that once held preserves
but through their bodies of heated sand,
Dawn dances for me when sunlight calls
in graceful steps and arabesque so grand
How elegantly she danced upon my walls

Connie Marcum Wong April 10, 2018 at 10:39 PM We are certainly kindred spirits Lin. I wrote a poem a few days ago called Cobalt Colors that I have not posted here yet. You will see how much alike my poem is to yours. I have it posted at PFT. This is lovely Lin. It took me on a serene journey. : ) xxoo Lin Lane April 11, 2018 at 11:15 AM I think we are indeed kindred spirits, Connie. I'd love to read your poem, and thank you for the lovely comments here.

Jan Allison April 6, 2018 at 8:06 AM What a delightful poem Lin, the imagery of the sunshine and flowers in simple glass bottles is divine and the accompanying picture is charming. May dawn continue to dance and inspire your wonderful words:-) hugs Jan into my faves:-) xx Lin Lane April 6, 2018 at 8:08 AM Thanks, chick. It was one of those 'simple' inspirations that Brian wrote about in his blog. But I'm going to post one in a few moments that you'll like even more, cuz it's about YOU. ;-)
