Notes About The Poem

Trimeric Contest by Janice Canerdy ~ September 1, 2024

Dawn's First Blush-TRI

The world still sleeps at dawn's first blush
when trilling birds tickle my ear.
I welcome the dirge of a thrush 
as sunlight's tepid breath draws near.

When trilling birds tickle my ear
and morning skies are pastel pink,
I dip my feathered quill in ink.

I welcome the dirge of a thrush
helping his mate to build a nest.
It's the time of day I like best.

As sunlight's tepid breath draws near,
I've written a verse of Haiku 
of rose petals dripping with dew.

Nothing beats that time of day when most of the world are still asleep and ideas start flowing into your mind. Tom
