Nette Onclaud Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

A Brian Strand Contest: You Choose 2024 Poetry 8 Aug 2024... Resubmitred 25 Dec 24 - The entrant asks for sponsor's indulgence where phrases extend to next lines...I am using a cellphone which has no app for standard size of word document .

Daystar

Dream-like is she, gleaming softly 
     through gauze of faded moon
Auroral her flame imbued with wings so 
     regal
Yellowing sky's revue through wisps 
     of haloed dew--
Somehow, she guides me through 
     deep prayer,
To exalt her for baptism of new
     awakenings, promises made holy
 And  how she , Dawn, unveils what is
        pure in  my  sacred world
Reflecting her timeless morn...
       angel of first sun, daystar!
