L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Ere the Sun Peeps

The night sky is darkest before dawn
Ere the sun peeps over the horizon,
Before I have stretched or had a yawn
The night sky is darkest before dawn.
While the nightshades are still drawn,
And the world is waiting for the risin’
The night sky is darkest before dawn,
Ere the sun peeps over the horizon.

Caren Krutsinger October 5, 2022 at 11:30 PM I like thinking that you get to see it first! L Milton Hankins October 6, 2022 at 8:25 AM Ah, that is true. I didn't even think about that!

Jenna Logan October 5, 2022 at 5:13 AM This is an excellent Triolet, Mil, and my favorite time of day. Jenna Logan October 5, 2022 at 8:49 AM I can attest to the truth of it, Milt. I’m up before dawn nearly every day. The beauty of a sunrise is more lovely than a sunset. Set your alarm. L Milton Hankins October 5, 2022 at 8:31 AM I have heard this my whole life, Jenna. Is it really true that the night is darkest right before the dawn? I'm rarely up that early to observe.
