Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Gina's New Voices Contest ~ January 28, 2025

In Nature's Glory

As I awake from night's deep sleep
morning light begins its grand sweep.
Across the skyline, it unfurls
as dewdrops hang like strands of pearls.

Resembling tears, not those of grief,
they quench the thirst of each dry leaf.
On prismed drops they drink their fill
as sunlight climbs above the hill.

My flowers sup from Nature's tap.
Their petals cupped so they could lap
the nurturing moisture of life
when lack of rainfall brings them strife.

Sun has risen and morning broke.
In the sky is a golden yolk.
Its warmth has spread over the Earth.
Each day is likened to rebirth.

Twilight will find sunlight fading.
Its hours are quickly abrading,
but darkness will never hold sway~
Luna will not be kept at bay.

With us, moonlight shares her soft glow,
ruling the tides that ebb and flow.
One more day that tells the story
of nature in all its glory.

Duke Beaufort January 30, 2025 at 7:11 AM It is a beautiful view of the world Lin. It has elegant simplicity and describes the essence of light and water. BTW, thank-you for your recent comment!! Lin Lane January 30, 2025 at 7:55 AM and thank you for enjoying this one, Duke. Your poetry always deserves comments.

Connie Pachecho January 29, 2025 at 11:46 AM Lin, your poem is beautiful. But I don't think it's a kyrielle because the last line in each stanza should be repeating. Lin Lane January 29, 2025 at 12:05 PM Thank you for the heads up, Connie. It's been some time since I've written one. I'll delete it from the contest.

Daniel Henry Rodgers January 29, 2025 at 4:55 AM Dear Lin, What a breathtaking journey of day and night. I kept thinking how each line is a wonderful tribute to nature's rhythm. There is a lot of great imagery here Lin, which makes me reflect and appreciate nature even more. Beautiful Kyrielle! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel Lin Lane January 29, 2025 at 7:50 AM There's so much more that could be written, but then I'd have to call a poem a novel! Thank you so very much for your comments, Daniel.

Tom Cunningham January 29, 2025 at 2:41 AM Nothing beats nature in all its glory, we only have to look around us, the beauty of it is every where. Good luck in the contest Lin. Tom Lin Lane January 29, 2025 at 7:49 AM That's exactly right, Tom. Too many don't take the time to appreciate it in this rush around world. Thanks for your well wishes.

Abdullah Alhemaidy January 28, 2025 at 11:34 PM Beautiful poem! Glorious nature :-) Lin Lane January 29, 2025 at 7:48 AM Thanks a lot, AA.

Gavin Anderson January 28, 2025 at 12:20 PM so poetic and yet so moving all at the same time. The beautiful side of being awoken from a deep sleep, this poem has quickly become my favourite to read. I hope you do well in the Gina's contest. Lin Lane January 28, 2025 at 12:59 PM Hello, Gavin. It's nice to meet you and to show my appreciation for your kind thoughts on my poem. Thank you for your well wishes.

David Kavanagh January 28, 2025 at 11:59 AM The more beautiful side of nature Lin, from sunrise to moonrise and all in between, a gem of a kyrielle, with clever subtle internal rhyme in stanza 3, great one for contest, I hope you are keeping well and enjoying the warmth, can’t remember when I seen the sun last lol, typical Irish weather, cheers David David Kavanagh January 28, 2025 at 1:32 PM I’d no idea Lin I’ve been living under a cloud of late, snowball fights what’s seldom is wonderful, I’m sure T-shirts and shorts will be back in fashion very very soon:) Lin Lane January 28, 2025 at 12:58 PM It's wonderful to read a comment from you after your absence, David. You must not have heard of the snowstorm in New Orleans a week ago. Twelve inches in some places. What fun children had playing in it, but it held the city and suburbs hostage for several days.

Daniel Turner January 28, 2025 at 9:07 AM A beautiful poem, Lin. My kind of day. If its for contest, it should do very well. Hope you're having a great day. Lin Lane January 28, 2025 at 11:04 AM It was written for Gina's contest. Thanks for your encouragement, Danny. Today is a good one and the sun has just burned the clouds away.
