Poetry form: Aubade - An aubade is a morning love song (as opposed to a serenade, which is in the evening), or a song or poem about lovers separating at dawn. It has also been defined as "a song or instrumental composition concerning, accompanying, or evoking daybreak".--Wikipedia/Aubade

The rooster's crow warns me that dawn has come My sleepy eyes resist my need to rise I blindly reach for her but she is gone Then hear a sound that much to my surprise Reveals she hasn't left but still is near The sound then ever closer she appears! One last embrace and kiss before she leaves Declare undying love to last the years Such declaration mitigates our fears As varied shades of love each one perceives

I'm glad you liked it, Eve. I appreciate Brian running his weekend poetry themes to give us an opportunity to write new poems or to resurrect some of our past poems :) Take care! ~Mark

I see you are doing those challenges of Brian's. Well done with the aubade form, Mark. I wish I had time for all the extra things here at Soup. I just can't keep up even with comments alone!
