Notes About The Poem

For Sotto Poet's 
Word Bank Poetry Contest

_______________________________________________________________________

Led by Dawn Bringer

*Phosphorous, Morning Star, has overcome
night’s stellar reign and its *lunar embrace.
Awakening, I can hear nature’s hum
while *myriad flowers are showing their grace.
They *lilt in a breeze that’s beckoning me.
I follow a path worn and *serpentine.
Across some long grass on my way I see
two garter snakes *slither; round rocks they twine,
but brief is my fright. I’m anxious to get
to the place Dawn Bringer has called me to,
a spot that I never have tired of yet.
Like a billion drops of radiant dew,
clear water tumbles down in a *cascade
and trees around me shine emerald jade.

Beautiful, especially "clear water tumbles down in a cascade and trees around me shine emerald jade." That's a lovely painting!

Dear Andrea, O' such gentle magic of morning—a step into wonder. I felt the dawn, the thrill of small wild things, and the pull of that secret, sacred place. So luminous with your spirit quietly brave. A beautiful radiant journey filled with Joy. Spring Blessings, My Dear Andrea, Daniel

Very pure, beautiful poetry. Clear as a mountain trickle-spring, gently caressing and hugging lovingly yielding, slickly abiding, stone surfaces, aiding a humble ripple-journey to river escaping to boundless sea. We travel and see through the shallows and depths of many. Poetry is the Poet's shared ark. Your poem and admirable example. Thank you for sharing.
