Notes About The Poem

Premiere Contest WinnerGlorious Days Under the Sun

He awakens me at dawn with the touch of his first light
   His warmth opens my azure bloom after the chill of night
I'm refreshed with the gift of reborn splendor from the sun
   A Morning Glory on tendril vine, once day has begun
My gold stamen dances to attract thirsty hummingbirds
   I wish I could express my gratefulness in human words
but he knows I adore him when he sees my big blue smile
   Although in the garden, I'm considered a juvenile
It's time for the sun to sleep as he recedes in the West
   So I'll close my eyes 'til morning, and take a little rest

Hello Lin, This is a fantastic poem and makes me feel so warm. You have a wonderful use of description that brings a blank canvas to life. I think my effort was bottom of the class with a note from the teacher, "Must try harder" Kind regards to you, Kevin x

Oh, Jan. I'm saddened that you've never seen a hummingbird. Are they not found on the Isle of Mann? Thanks for finding delight in the poem and the painting. I think I'd like to paint a version of this one...love the soft jewel tone colors.
