Notes About The Poem

Dawn Never Dies

I was a red-violet, sunny morning person, usually up at the crack of dawn, When orange light poured from the east, upon revival, dewy green lawns. With a cup of aromal coffee, I'd watch yellow sunrise creep in the window, Enjoying the zestful song of red robin, while night and day were in limbo. I would take walks at the golden hour, flooded in light, just after a sunrise, In the serenity of wanton, floral summer, slowly unveiling a destiny prized. Visits of friends were features of morning, for sunup fondness is infective, As flowers soak up colors of white sunlight, telling of the new perspective. Family and I fascinated flaming sunsets, fancy dancing like we had forever, At evening fetes, long fated; like feathery, dark green ferns-wind treasure. I lived in the house of taupe sunrise, always trending towards golden noon, As fitful stars, flickering like fireflies, stay on course, in presence of moon. Sunhats, sandals and pretty sunflowers, were summer sights on my street, In tranquil days of wild seas, giving the selfsame roar, as it cooled hot feet. Nearby stars gleamed like natural pearls, on nebulous nights of neighbors; And the natural conversation flowed nonstop, like the whistling wind labors. Bat orchids awaited watchful moon, yearning for caves among field flowers; When ballerina orchids danced, entranced, by plum shadows' magic powers! Crimson corpse flower was blooming, in a torrid wake, held in lazy summer, And snapdragon seed pods imitated skulls, where future flowers slumbered. One day dawned exceptionally beautiful, a sight bringing rapture to my eyes; As plum and orange, merged with pink, gold and red-fleeing night disguised! I went about my productive work, but I noticed the day did not seem to age, Like a glorious history book caught open, when distraction didn't turn a page. Although I was very puzzled, I relished a pause for precious, pretty mystery; Like the lovely, floral pause of gemmed hummingbirds, in times of blissfully. After several long and rapturous hours, testy time gradually began to move, For a beginning ever looks towards the end, as if it had everything to prove!

I am impressed that you could write such a poem and keep the thread to the end. So glad you can still stay in the moment. So many cannot these days and distraction causes so many needless accidents. Thank you for sharing and enjoy many more dawns. David in NZ

"Visits of friends were features of morning, for sunup fondness is infective, As flowers soak up colors of white sunlight, telling of the new perspective." Happiness having a lot to do with attitude, which also affects the wealth of others. "Although I was very puzzled, I relished a pause for precious, pretty mystery; Like the lovely, floral pause of gemmed hummingbirds, in times of blissfully." The eternal now. So many marvelous lines throughout the entire poem. Enchanting imagery all of gem-like quality. A masterpiece. FAV!

Your couplet poem is a vibrant and evocative celebration of the beauty and rhythm of the natural world, infused with rich imagery and a sense of wonder. The poet skilfully uses colour and sensory details to bring each moment to life, from the "orange light" pouring from the east at sunrise to the "crimson corpse flower" blooming in the lazy summer heat.

Beautiful hues in this poem serenading a lovely dawn. Expertly crafted as always, Evelyn:--Nearby stars gleamed like natural pearls---Bat orchids awaited watchful moon, yearning for caves among field flowers; When ballerina orchids danced, entranced, by plum shadows' magic powers-- awesome! A FAVE!

Many flowers growing in an enchanted summer garden. The title was perfect. I also compliment the zany mosaic photograph of dawn.
