Notes About The Poem

See my latest blog dated 26/2/2026: 'The Jueju - Straight from the Horse's Mouth'

Dawn Song

Dawn song / sweet trills / thin flute roused
Splayed light / warm vibe / worn slats doused
Dream haunts / harsh cough / plumb tears smart
Heart touched / mixed thoughts / frail past frouse

All I can do is respond like Susan...WOW! The time and effort that went into this alone commands utmost respect. This is difficult, tedious, mind-bending writing for anyone who might think it is easy! Good stuff, Sus. Keep up the good work!

I would be honoured if PoetrySoup.com would consider your suggestion. As I am not a Premium Member, I doubt whether they would pay attention to a suggestion by me (I might be wrong, though). :))
